The Common Ground Program
The Common Ground program is a series of discussions among small groups of first-year and transfer students facilitated by faculty and staff. It provides true common ground between students, regardless of their academic interests, and complements our other first-year experience programs that are unique to their respective colleges and schools.
Common Ground gifts us the rare opportunity to offer our students the lead and to allow them to make for themselves a path by which they may bring all of us somewhere new, fresh ... and hopeful.
