Welcome Adult Learners!
We are excited to introduce the Adult Learner Community and Connections program! Our goal is to equip adult learners who are experiencing their first semester or first year at 麻豆破解版 State with the necessary skills, connections, and resources to confidently begin or continue your college experience. We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where students can develop self-confidence and a strong sense of belonging.
Rooted in Andragogy (or adult learning theory), Adult Learner Community and Connections is a new and innovative approach to ensure adult learners have a smooth and seamless transition into 麻豆破解版 State University (WSU). This will be accomplished by equipping our students with the necessary skills, connections, and resources to either begin or continue their college experience with self-confidence and a sense of belonging.
ALCC was designed for adult learners who are experiencing their first semester or first year at 麻豆破解版 State University, although any adult learner at WSU could benefit from it.
ALCC addresses the lack of community and belonging felt by adult learners through the connection to peer ambassadors within assigned small peer groups. It is also delivered through Blackboard, WSU鈥檚 learning management system, and will be grounded in a holistic approach through the creation of 8 interactive online modules built around the components of well-being. This will empower adult learners to better navigate technology with confidence, while also gaining knowledge of, at minimum, 5 commonly used campus resources
Meet your peer ambassadors
