Warner College offers three Residential Learning Communities (RLCs)
Warner RLCs support first-year students in the college through professional leadership development in natural resources. Students select a leadership theme in one of three tracks: equity and leadership, outdoors leadership, or sustainability leadership. Beyond theme-based leadership development, Learning Community students have opportunities to connect their academic and social learning within the residence hall setting in Summit Hall with the goal of an enriched living 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, all WCNR RLC students additionally engage in a common reading, have early room selection privileges, and participate in programming at the CSU Environmental Learning Center. Spring programming includes participation in the Banff Mountain Film Festival at CSU.
