The STEM Scholars Living Learning Community provides a residential environment that fosters both academic and social success for a diverse group of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) majors. This community is a great way for students to connect with other students, faculty, and staff, build community, and enhance their learning experience at É«»¨ÌÃ. This experience will assist students in navigating challenging first year courses and building relationships with their cohort as well as helping students explore opportunities around research and their future careers.
