>> BE A PEER MENTOR! 
>> A learning community (LC) is a group of students who take a common set of courses together or share a common experience around their academics.  Learning Communities at Ohio University are designed, and proven, to improve the academic success and retention of first-year students by creating learning-based peer networks.
>>  
>> In each community, a group of up to 25 students co-enroll in a set of thematically linked courses. One Peer Mentor is assigned to each of the Learning Communities.  For more information about the program, visit the website http://www.ohio.edu/learningcommunities.
