At the University of Saskatchewan, a First-Year Learning Community (LC) is a small group of first-year students (30-40) who choose to register in a common set of 2 or 3 classes. In addition to sharing a common classroom experience in large lectures, students gather as a smaller community in a weekly LC Hour guided by two successful senior student Peer Mentors.
Weekly LC Hours aim to (a) engage students in community-directed academic discussions and self-directed life plans, (b) facilitate community engagement within, between and beyond their Learning Community, and (c) enhance study, organization, and time management skills. Each LC is named after an Alumni Mentor: a recent graduate from the U of S, whose experience from first-year to first career exemplifies the non-linear nature of life’s journey.
