<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Student Organization Leader,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a Student Organization Leader, you have close contact with a variety of student leaders on campus and I need your help. Learning Community Programs is preparing for the Fall quarter of 2011 and will hire nearly 150 student leaders to
be Peer Mentors. Would you please pass this information to the members of your student organization?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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
<a href="http://www.ohio.edu/learningcommunities" target="_blank"><span style="COLOR: windowtext; TEXT-DECORATION: none">http://www.ohio.edu/learningcommunities</span></a>.</p>

adjustment to Ohio University while working with the students in and out of the classroom.
