Prospective Students
Learning Communities- Media Arts and Design
 
Jan. 23, 2006 - Picture/s from Meet the Dean Night
The studio experience in an essential part of design education, and exchange among students is a central part of the learning process. The Antoinette Westphal College of Media, Arts & Design learning community offers a link between the two.

The Westphal College Learning Community gives you the option of expounding upon your classroom knowledge through academic exploration and idea exchange with your fellow designers along with your experienced Resident Assistant. You can work side by side with another Westphal College student on a design project, participate in another student’s film or photo shoot, gain new techniques in painting or drawing, study together for an Art History exam, and share experiences about courses that you have taken. The community is self-directed so you have the opportunity to take the lead in initiating activities such as study groups, critiques, brainstorming sessions, meetings, and events. There will also be exciting activities planned by your RA and the Westphal College of Media, Arts and Design. When you depart from this community, after completing your freshman year, you will have a new found sense of community and team work. Those are attributes that will be beneficial throughout your college career.


Highlights:
• Reside with other media, arts and design students
• Exchange Ideas
• Work together to achieve success
• Exercise/develop leadership skills in the learning community
• Self - directed community so your ideas and opinions matter

 
Selection Process: Participants are selected on a first-come first served basis. Space is limited.
 
Participant Requirements: Must meet with your Academic advisor at least one time during the academic school year and make every effort to attend learning community meetings and events.
