A First-year Learning Community
About
The Society of Spartan Sisters (S.S.S.) is a first-year Learning Community (LC) designed for women across all majors. By providing education, mentorship, and access to opportunities for personal and professional growth, students will develop a deeper understanding of gender-based oppressions in society and become empowered. This LC introduces participants to principles rooted in women’s issues and leadership, and nurtures a supportive environment through purposeful coursework, co-curricular activities, and civic engagement.

- Build a caring and connected community among women-identified students to foster a greater sense of belonging.
