Considering the new Institute approach to the first year, Alice’s project is considering the needs of faculty and students to build classroom communities as we implement the new Cohorts across the incoming first year Gen Ed classes. Alice will share some initial findings on the research/literature about Living-Learning Communities on college campuses, pedagogical strategies for fostering a sense of community within the classroom, and how we might reconsider skill building, with a special focus on her home department, HAD.
