This webinar presented American University's University College (UC) Living-Learning Community program, featuring faculty director Brigid Maher and program coordinator Kyrsten Navincio. They explained that University College offers immersive learning experiences through complex problems seminars where students live and take classes together in cohorts, with options including courses like "What Makes a Good Life," "Water Politics Crisis," and "Plasticity Shaping the Brain." Former student and senior program leader Connor shared his positive experience, crediting the program with helping him build community and stay at AU. The presentation covered the residential experience in Letts and Anderson halls, co-curricular activities, and integration with AU Cornerstone students studying abroad. The team discussed the recruitment timeline, which runs through May 5th for reservations, and introduced five potential cohort themes for voting, including "UC Built What Matters" and "UC Sparks Growth."
