The Nursing Learning Community is an innovative living-learning environment for pre-nursing, clinical nursing and Nursing Scholar students. As a member of this community, residents work with Nursing faculty and staff as well as residence hall staff to create activities and opportunities that support academic success.

Unique Community Features

• Residents have direct access to Nursing faculty and staff members
• Tours of the Nursing School and University Hospital facilities
• Community participation during Student Nursing Week
• In-hall personal advising by a Nursing School advisor

Community Goals

The Nursing Learning Community is dedicated to students in an academically rigorous program who are considering nursing as a career. In order to maintain a community that supports learning, participants:

• Gain a broad perspective of the career opportunities available in the nursing field
• Share and learn from students with similar interests and experiences
• Learn the expectations of the nursing program and the field of nursing
• Participate in activities that deepen their academic experience

Freshman Interest Groups (FIGs)

The Nursing Learning Community also houses two Nursing freshman interest groups (FIGs) that relate to its overall goals and objectives.

Please note: The nature and availability of specific figs may change in order to adapt to the needs of both the Learning Community and participating students.
