Warner College offers two Residential Learning Communities (RLCs)
Warner RLCs support first-year students in the college through active leadership development in natural resources, sustainability, and outdoors leadership. The Learning Communities connect academic and social learning within the residence hall setting with the goal of an enriched experience for all participants. First-year students majoring in any one of Warner’s major programs are eligible to apply!
In the fall semester, the program offers first-year students linked enrollment in special sections of NR 192: First Year Seminar in Environmental Studies and CO 150: College Composition. Students participate in professional development experiences to expand their knowledge and skills and take part in career exploration in their chosen fields of study. At the start of the fall semester, WCNR RLC students additionally engage in a common reading, have early move-in privileges, and participate in programming at the CSU Environmental Learning Center. Spring programming includes participation in the Banff Mountain Film Festival at CSU.
We have two tracks!
