Learning Communities provide opportunities for administrators, faculty, and staff from NACU campuses to share best practices and consult with one another to enhance institutional effectiveness through improved curriculum, pedagogy, research, and systems.
Those who participate find candid conversations and a willingness to share both successes and challenges in this trusted network. Together everyone is working toward a common purpose — to successfully prepare students for life and work through the integration of liberal, professional, and civic education.
