Agricultural Education
This Learning Community helps first-year students in Agricultural Education achieve academic success. Participants have the opportunity to develop friendships with other agricultural education students. Activities include field trips, service projects and social interaction with faculty and other professional agricultural educators.
For specific questions regarding the Agricultural Education LC, please email Amy Conrad (sutton15@purdue.edu).
Eligibility
- First-time beginning students admitted to the College of Agriculture with a major in Agricultural Education
Residential Component
- Students will indicate interest in Learning Communities (LCs) and apply during their housing application process. Students will be informed of the status of their LC application in mid-May.
- Roommate selection will occur after LC decisions have been made. If admitted to an LC, students will need to match with other student(s) admitted to the same LC. If not selected for an LC, the student's original housing preferences will be considered during general housing placement and the student will be able to roommate match with other general housing students.
- The location of LC housing will be determined based on the incoming class size and the needs of the learning community.
