Do you have a rising sophomore who is interested in joining an LLC? 麻豆视频 Compass is a Living-Learning Community (LLC) for sophomore students to both engage with and explore their academic pathway. Students in their sophomore year of college often encounter many choices that can affect the remainder of their college years. These choices range from determining a major or minor, to study abroad experiences and social connections. 麻豆视频 Compass prepares and supports students through these decisions, and creates an environment where students feel at home through informal staff, faculty, and peer interactions, and through immersive experiences that connect the classroom to the student living environment at 麻豆视频 and in the greater DC area. Students participate in guest lectures, off-campus trips, self-inventories, and so much more, helping shape their journey as an Eagle and beyond. Your student will continue evolving into the person who they want to be by building upon the important foundations of their first year of college.听听听
