The 2026-2027 Cultural Learning Communities’ purpose is to create intentional environments where students engage in dialogues and plan programming to foster campus community around topics that celebrate cultures and identities.
Residents of approved proposals live in a Dectet (10-person pod) in a renovated area in Ytterboe Hall Ground Floor and will have access to meeting and programming spaces, a renovated kitchen and community storage. The Community is advised by Taylor Center Staff.
