Do you have specific learning communities that are no longer serving the needs of students and your campus community? Is it time for them to go?

Example: Do you have that one learning community where it is a battle to get campus partner support? Are students no longer interested and/or enrolling in the learning community, but someone still wants it to go on despite the heavy resource lift?

Join the April Community of Practice to learn about an intentional model for determining and ultimately sunsetting learning communities in a way that is intentional and constructive.  We will discuss:

The three Rs of sunsetting:

Resources

Relevance

Rationale

Strategies for creating an intentional and constructive process:

Creating campus partner buy-in

Student involvement in the transition

Communication plans

We will spend the first part of our time together reviewing models and strategies and transition into a facilitated discussion to learn from one another.

About Our Communities - Academic Programs - CSU Channel Islands

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
First Year students have a variety of options to live the CI Mission through academic success and integration into the life of the University, both inside and outside of the classroom. Participating in these communities is shown to improve student learning, persistence to the second year, and time to graduation, and foster stronger relationships with peers and faculty. Open to all majors and interests, there are ethnic-studies communities, communities for undeclared students, and communities for those headed for law or health care careers or interested in community-based research, just to name a few.

Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) are academic programs that partner with residential communities on campus. In addition to living among students in the same major, college, academic focus or program, we hold events in your community that are related to your area of interest. Living in an LLC is a great way to create strong connections with other students and build relationships with faculty and advisers in your program.

I really enjoyed learning more about how community colleges incorporate Learning Communities, whether residential or non-residential. As a leader within a regional organization that has been working with CC engagement (that is primarily residential focused) it was very insightful to hear best and current practices.
