N e w R L C O p t i o ns f o r Up p erc l as s men RLCs aren’t for freshmen only. Appalachian State University has created the new Student-Initiated Residential Learning Communities Program, which allows upperclass students to begin and/or continue their involvement in residential learning communities by designing and leading their own community of interest on campus. Upperclassmen will have the ability to play an active role in their own education by becoming the Student Coordinators of their uniquely designed Residential Learning Community. Each October, applications will become available on the University Housing website for current Appalachian students to submit an idea for learning communities and to apply to serve as a Student Coordinator. This new program provides the opportunity for like-minded students to take an engaged role in their education while developing great leadership and programming skills.
