Finding Your Home in Learning Communities

Welcome Lyonnesses Class of 2020!

As you get ready to start your life here at Lyon College, you may be wondering what exactly are these Learning Communities you have been hearing all about? Why are you required to be involved?

Well let us fill you in on one of Lyon's greatest pride and joys...

Learning Communities are you home away from home, your opportunity to make a difference, and your chance to learn in a way that is unique to our college. Starting on Sunday, the first day of summer orientation, you will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with the women in each of the 40 different LCs. Each LC has a different focus area and new ones are being created each year.

Some examples of LC focus areas are:
Women for Change
College Democrats
Critical Race Theorists
Catholic Campus Ministries
The PRIDE - LGBTQ+ and Allies
Healthy Soul, Healthy Body
Gaming as Learning
Nature and Sustainability
And so many more...

Don't worry about feeling like you are tying yourself down to a single one! If you decide after the end of your first year, you want to learn about something new you are more than welcome to change for your second year. We want you to have the opportunity to learn and grow as much as you can!

Come with an open mind, any questions, and excitement as you begin your journey here at Lyon!
