FSU offers the “Cawthon Education Learning Community” (ELC) to first-year students who may be majoring in Education. This living/learning community links residence hall and academic experiences. The goal of the ELC is to “create a close-knit supportive environment where new students will have the opportunity to meet other freshmen who are interested in Education.” Service learning experiences, as well as opportunities to take classes in the residence hall, are part of the ELC. |
