Our Living Learning Community
The Flying First program, in partnership with Residential Learning & University Housing, offers a living learning community for incoming first-generation freshmen students. The First-Generation Learning Community is typically located in Evergreen Hall and gives freshmen students enhanced opportunities to connect with our program and each other.
Benefits to living in the learning community include:
- A built-in community of shared support to ease the overall transition to college
- Opportunities to foster relationships with first-gen peers and other professional staff members within the Flying First program
- Ability to share your first-gen story and learn the stories of others
- Celebrate being first-gen!
