The overarching goals of our annual summer conference is for participants to consider the key components of learning communities and to develop learning communities to their institutional plan. Workshops address key elements of - organizing and administering learning communities, engaging faculty, engaging students, and program assessment and evaluation. Participating colleges are at various stages of building learning community initiatives on their campus.
