Communitas
Join Communitas, our first-year Learning Communities, and get the most out of your first year of college! Communitas creates innovative educational environments that integrate the academic, co-curricular, and communal aspects of the first year of college in specially themed versions of the required Augustine and Culture Seminar.
Students in Communitas will quickly foster strong relationships with their classmates and professor. By also living in the same residence hall as your seminar classmates and participating in a 1-credit weekly workshop, you will integrate your academic and social experiences and participate in unique opportunities with special programming, events, and trips related to your learning community’s theme.
