“As Learning Community Liaisons, we strive to provide mentorship, friendship and knowledge to students in the Learning Community Program.
We accomplish this by:

-Guiding the Freshmen students through the transition from high school to college.

-Communicating Effectively

-Simplifying resources and putting them in the reach of the Freshmen students.

-Encouraging interaction and student involvement.

By doing these things the Learning Community Liaisons are empowering students to be successful.”

What is the Learning Community Liaison Program?
LCLs are a group of past learning community students who volunteer their time to provide mentorship and peer support to freshmen who are entering the learning community program for the upcoming semester. The LC Liaisons are all alumni of one of FAU’s past Learning Communities; this is especially beneficial for major-based LC’s!
In addition, LC Liaisons provide support to students who are academically at-risk and to help those students have a better knowledge and awareness of on-campus resources, and the faculty and staff members who are willing to assist them.

Who are Learning Community Liaisons?                            
An FAU Learning Community Liaison (aka. LCL) is a student volunteer who provides support to students that are part of one of the FLC or LLC programs. The LCL’s work throughout the year to help Learning Community students have a better knowledge and awareness of on-campus resources, and faculty and staff members who are willing to assist them. In addition, FAU LCL’s:

1. Provide support and encouragement to FAU students,
2. Assist students with reading/study skills, writing skills, time management, and adjusting to college life, and
3. Form an important link between students and FAU, helping students utilize the many resources available from other campus programs and departments.
