Pathways to Engineering (P2E) Living Learning Community
The Pathways to Engineering (P2E) living learning community is specifically designed to foster a community among first-year students who are interested in the field of engineering. In addition to taking the Intro to Engineering Design course together in the fall, students will have access to tutoring and one-on-one advising from a P2E faculty member. P2E students will also connect and grow as a community in multiple fun activities and outings planned by faculty and living learning staff throughout the first semester.
What P2E LLC students said about their experience.
"I immediately met people in my LLC community that became my close friends here at Saint Thomas, there are also groups of us with similar academic interest that study in the study rooms in Schoenecker Hall North (formerly Tommie North) together on a frequent basis."
"Honestly the friendships made due to the fact that we were all close to each other are friendships that I know will continue to last a lifetime. Having the engineers in Schoenecker Hall North (formerly Tommie North)...might be the smartest thing they could have done for the LLC for studying and research purposes as well as building relationships."
