Fresh Connections are learning communities that use clusters of courses to connect different disciplines to a common theme. The specially selected faculty incorporate their specific theme in assignments and activities throughout the semester.

Students in these learning communities take courses together to develop a deeper understanding of the material and correlation of various disciplines. Support groups for studying and collaboration in learning usually result from making these connections.

Fresh Connections provides a social and academic experience that will lead to student success by providing a collaborative learning experience in which groups of students become responsible for their own learning, and enhance the educational experience of their peers as well.
