Living-Learning Communities Promote Engagment, Volunteerism Among UAlbany Transfer Students

ALBANY, NY (10/17/2017)– Living-Learning Communities (L-LC) at the University at Albany bring outstanding new transfers into a community of learners who live on the same residence hall, take some classes together, build a strong relationship with their L-LC lead professor, and study and participate in co-curricular activities around the theme or intended major of the L-LC.

These students are engaged in their studies inside and outside of their classrooms. Student Engagement, housed in the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, welcomed approximately 110 new transfers into L-LCs this fall.

The students who participate in this program include:

Fiona Cray of Clinton Corners (12514)

Mariah Kelly of Wingdale (12594)
