A Learning Community gives you the advantages of a small college learning environment with the resources of a major research university. In Learning Communities, small groups of students with similar interests work closely together in a “community of learners.” Students, along with advanced student mentors and a faculty advisor, study, socialize and problem-solve together.

TIP SCHOLARSTIP Wayne State has developed and is now accepting students who would like to participate in the TIP Scholars Learning Community.
The TIP Scholars Learning Community provides resources and supports to students who have had a history of placement in the foster care system. All students who participate will have an opportunity to engage in community outreach and leadership opportunities including public speaking, event planning, community service, direct engagement with high school-aged foster care youth, and networking opportunities to interact with business professionals, policymakers and other community leaders at the local, state and federal level. |
Why should I join a Learning Community?
When you join a Learning Community, you will be part of an innovative program that integrates courses with the campus experience. With your student peer mentors and faculty advisor, you will:
| Develop leadership skills through your interaction with your team. | More easily explore your academic interests – whether you’re sure of your major or are still deciding, you will have the opportunity within your peer network to explore your options. | Form new friendships, which will give you support in your new environment. |
