TEACH!
TEACH! learning community students will take Exploring Teaching as a Career course in the fall semester and Community Issues & Applications for Educators in the spring semester. Fun extracurricular activities will be co-planned by students and instructors, providing opportunities for information, learning, and interaction. Classes in the past have exciting learning activities and games they were able to use with school children outside of the classroom setting.
"Joining a learning community is an experience of a lifetime. It takes a gigantic campus and brings it down to a familiar level, making the transition to college easy and smooth, all the while providing opportunities throughout campus to enhance your college career and make it a lively and fun experience. Not only will you walk away with an immense amount of knowledge that is hard to grasp outside of a Learning Community, but the friends you make while involved can be amazing."
