Learning communities
Learning communities create opportunities for first-year students to engage and build a sense of community and professional connections. Ohio State Newark has five learning communities to bring together students with common attributes or academic goals.
Buckeye Generation Learning Community
The Buckeye Generation Learning Community assists first-generation students by connecting them with peers and faculty through experiential learning trips off campus and hands-on learning opportunities.
Education Teaching and Learning Community
The Education Teaching & Learning Community members engage in career focused experiential learning activities that allow students to make connections with education professionals, build strong connections with faculty, and build a foundation for success in the program through pre-major courses taken together.
Engineering Learning Community
The Engineering Learning Community members engage in career-focused experiential learning activities. These opportunities allow students to make connections with engineering professionals in their first year and see the innovative work they are doing in the field.
Global Citizens Learning Community
The Global Citizens Learning Community is for students who are interested in global citizenry and want to actively engage with the world community.
Scarlet and Gray Excellence
The Scarlet and Gray Excellence Learning Community (SAGE) supports first-year underrepresented students who want to immerse themselves in multiculturalism and demonstrate respect for differences.
