The events my LCA held allowed me to meet other residents in Science Scholars, gave me the potential to form a study group, and introduced me to student organizations, where I could meet more students with similar interests.

Science Scholars
Closing Fall 2023
Closing Fall 2023:
Science Scholars is closing after spring 2023. We have several other learning communities that may interest STEM majors.
Students majoring in core science areas like biology, bio-med sciences, chemistry and physics can opt to live on a floor together as part of the Science Scholars. Located in Eicher Hall, the community offers a great opportunity for those pursuing a science-related field to interact and study together. The College of Arts and Sciences supports the community.
