Virtual Learning Community

The College of Science's Virtual Learning Community (VLC) integrates your major curriculum with complementary courses to enhance learning and engagement in and out of the classroom. You will take part in a number of initiatives to impact your academic and personal development while also making connections with your peers. 

This is a unique opportunity to interact with other students and faculty in an interdisciplinary community focused on scientific inquiry, cutting-edge research, and global problem solving. This year's theme will center around scientific inquiry and global problem solving.

• Make connections with other students, both academically and socially 
• Access academic resources and support from tutors, campus resources, and faculty 
• Build a cohort of like-minded individuals engaged in their passion in and out of the classroom
