Purpose of a Learning Community

The Minnesota State University, Mankato learning communities program provides an opportunity for incoming first-year students to join a community that supports their academic success and transition to college life, as well as encourages students to involve themselves in different opportunities the campus has to offer. learning community students take some of their semester classes together and many live on the same residence hall floor providing an excellent opportunity to connect with other first-year students.

The LCC assists each student in setting academic goals, develops study groups for the community, and plans service work, cultural appreciation, and other events.

  • Leadership experience
  • Compensation of $3000 per year
  • Coordinators of 1st-year LCs who live on-campus are provided a single-occupancy room at the price rate of a double-occupancy room
