Living-Learning at UR is on the Web!

The Office of Living-Learning and Roadmap Programs has launched it’s new Web site (http://www.richmond.edu/living-learning) where you can find information on all of their programs, as well as the application to apply for the Sophomore Scholars in Residence and Communities for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. 

The office has also launched a blog (http://blog.richmond.edu/ssir) that gives you an inside look as to what the SSIR and living learning communities have been up to, as well as updates and upcoming events to the programs.

 

Be sure to check out both and visit the blog often as it is updated regularly.

The applications are due to Andy Gurka’s office, Richmond Hall 113, by 5:00 p.m. on November 20, 2009.

Being an RA for one of these communities, is a great way for students to get involved in living learning communities next year, be a role model to those participating in the program, work with faculty and staff, become a student leader within Richmond and Westhampton Colleges, and help shape the direction of these communities at Richmond.

Please contact Andy Gurka or Patrick Benner with any questions.
