The Sharpe program is a living-learning community of first-year students interested in community engagement, social justice and collaborative research.
Student Experience
First-year Sharpe Community Scholars share their very own living-learning community in Spotswood Hall.
Learning Outcomes
Yearlong special interest programming gives Sharpe scholars the opportunity to work closely with faculty, community partners, campus professionals and peer mentors in forming plans toward community-based research.
