Warner College offers two Residential Learning Communities (RLCs) for students interested in leadership development in natural resources, sustainability, and outdoor leadership.

WCNR RLCs are designed to introduce and integrate academic and social learning within the residence hall setting with the goal of an enriched learning experience for all participants.

Warner RLC students participate in professional development experiences to expand their knowledge and skills and take part in service-learning and career exploration in their chosen fields of study. The program offers linked course opportunities with CO 150 in special sections focused on natural resource food, energy, and water issues.

Warner RLC experiences include a common reading, early move-in privileges in Summit Hall, and programming at the CSU Environmental Learning Center. In fall, students take part in a weekend leadership development retreat at the CSU Mountain Campus, and in spring, they participate in the Banff Mountain Film Festival at CSU.
