What Will a Learning Community Offer?

The residential component of the program provides study partners and an easily accessible group of other first-year engineering students who share similar goals. Participants are block scheduled together in their first semester classes and enrolled in a fall semester seminar.

Seminar benefits include:

• Academic success strategies
• Professional development and networking skills
• Service-learning opportunities
• Engineering learning community and campus-wide events
• Peer advising from upper division engineering students
• Teambuilding
• Diversity training
• Assistance with student life issues

In the spring, participants are able to take part in a variety of activities and events that will help to enhance their experience at Virginia Tech.
