Find Yourself in LSA

Meet the students who are just like you. They’re discovering how to make the most of their LSA experiences—and discovering more about themselves in the process.

Engaged Learning

In the College of LSA, because your education is about more than searching for answers in a textbook, we offer numerous programs that foster hands-on work, innovative thinking, and experiences that challenge and transform.

College Connections

College Connections provides a space for alumni and families to share their student experiences with recent LSA graduates and provide feedback on the current and future state of the College.

Staff Achievement Awards Program
