Themed Community Experiences

Themed Community Experiences

Find your home!

These communities are in collaboration with campus partners. These community experiences offer learning opportunities for students to engage in a variety of activities to connect them to the university and to faculty/staff while providing a living space for students to connect what they are learning inside the classroom to their everyday life.

Members of Themed Communities reside on a floor or wing of a residence hall designated for students that have been accepted to the Community Experience. These community experiences offer a safe, supportive environment for students with similar interests, majors, and/or identities to live in. These environments allow student to make deep social connections by engaging with peers around shared education experiences, and can improve students’ academic success through intentional programming, co-curricular learning experiences, and faculty/staff engagement.
