Mission
UCA’s Living Learning Communities connect all first-year students with faculty, staff, and peers who work together to support their success at UCA and beyond. We intentionally create opportunities to motivate one another in our academic, personal, and professional growth and our development as active and engaged community members. UCA Living Learning Communities affirm a commitment to a culture of inclusiveness of all the identities claimed by the members of our communities.
Core Values
Belonging, Caring, Collaboration, Connectedness, Discovery, Resilience, Social Responsibility
