Graduate Learning Communities
To support Wayne State University’s commitment to student learning, WSU launched the Learning Community (LC) initiative, which seeks to enhance the graduate student experience by offering dynamic, focused communities in which students, staff, and faculty can learn and grow together.
A Learning Community offers the advantages of a small college learning environment with the resources of a major research university. In Learning Communities, small groups of students with similar career and academic interests work closely together in a “community of learners.”
The College of Education has two LCs for graduate students: one for Professional Preparation in Kinesiology, and one for Instructional Technology students. Both of these LCs focus on equipping students with the knowledge they will need for teaching, and to prepare them for the employment interview process. Components of the graduate-level Learning Communities include, but are not limited to: workshops, planning meetings, peer mentoring, team-building exercises, and one-on-one sessions.
