IMAGINE LEARNING COMMUNITY
A First-Year Learning Community
About
Open to students of all majors, the Imagine Learning Community is designed for first-year students who are passionate about creativity, innovation, and the arts. This community explores artistic expression across a variety of disciplines while encouraging students to think critically, collaborate creatively, and engage with the broader artistic community.
Through on- and off-campus arts experiences, theater performances, guest lectures from industry professionals, collaborative projects, and hands-on creative opportunities, students will deepen their appreciation for the arts while building meaningful connections with faculty, staff, peers, and professional artists.
The Imagine Learning Community fosters a supportive environment where students are encouraged to explore new ideas, discover their creative voice, and connect their academic interests with future career possibilities in the arts and beyond.
