I wish to personally welcome and invite you to join the National Learning Communities Association (NLCA). Joining is easy and free. Simply visit our webpage at https://sites.google.com/view/nlcassociation/home and click the “Become a Member” link.
The National Learning Communities Association offers opportunities for faculty, staff, and administrators to work towards increasing student success by developing more effective learning communities and continuously striving to improve them. The NLCA provides a platform for greater participation for those who wish to become involved in advancing learning communities. We collaborate with the many organizations that have contributed to the excellent work being done with learning communities, including the Washington Center at the Evergreen State College and each of the state/regional consortia, so we can all benefit and advance learning communities on our individual campuses and for all stakeholders.
We also host the National Learning Communities Conference, held in early November. For details about this year's conference, go to our website.
We also offer a variety of learning communities webinars for members of the NLCA. as well as organize regional gatherings for members and to offer virtual meetings, so we can facilitate networking opportunities. Visit our webpage at https://sites.google.com/view/nlcassociation/events for more information about our plans for the coming year. The NLCA e-mail address is: LearningCommunitiesAssociation@gmail.com; contact us to be added to our monthly newsletter list!
Our primary goal is to ensure student success through learning communities. We also want to serve as a strong voice that advocates for learning communities throughout higher education while simultaneously promoting research and professional development. The NLCA needs your input and involvement so that we can continue advancing the benefits of learning communities.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Leptien
President, Learning Communities Association
