‘Ignite’ introduces freshmen to learning communities
From Staff | gargoyle@flagler.edu
This semester, Flagler College is launching an initiative that will create big changes for the college’s freshman experience.
“Ignite” is the college’s new Quality Enhancement Plan. “Ignite” aims to enhance student engagement at Flagler through first-year learning communities.
This fall, two learning communities of about 20 freshman each begin classes. They will study the theme of “Power” through English, government and art courses. They’ll take field trips together, work on special projects, meet at gatherings – overall, they’ll have a unique experience designed to get them involved with their education.
Over the next five years, Flagler will expand the Ignite initiative to include all incoming freshman.
More information will soon be available at ignite.flagler.edu.
Wish it was around when I was a freshman. There were not enough options to keep me from the darkside. Ignite, if it works for even a few, would be worth it.
When my kid goes there in a few years it may have been tried and tested.
Sounds to be about as completely useless as freshman seminar was. Why bother?
