Sophomore Year Experience Living & Learning Community

Like the origami bird in the SYE L&LC logo, second-year students begin to take flight in their sophomore year of college. This Japanese art form of origami takes a simple piece of paper and creates a universe of beautiful sculptures through complex folding. The possibilities are endlessly creative, as are SYE students. Your sophomore year is about folding and sculpting yourself and your future!
