Supporting the Spartan Journey: Middle-Year Learning Community In-Person / Online
The middle-year experience learning community focuses on students beyond the first year, especially the second year, when questions of direction, purpose, and career clarity become more pressing amid growing academic and personal responsibilities. Using data, cross-campus collaboration, and shared inquiry, the community elevates this often-overlooked stage and advances intentional, research-informed strategies to help students move from exploration toward direction and life beyond graduation.
