The DEAL Living and Learning Community
|
The DEAL intentionally fosters Diversity awareness, Engagement experiences, Academic enhancement, and Leadership skills among freshman students. The primary focus of the DEAL living and learning community is to help students develop cultural competency with other diverse students through service learning, small group discussions, and other on and off-campus activities. Students that elect to participate in the living and learning community will also participate in the DEAL Early Move-In Program. During the Early Move-In Program, DEAL students will foster strategies in college and career readiness, make social connections, and get acclimated to Ferris’s campus and greater Big Rapids community. The DEAL will provide a family-like community and staff support to help you transition and be successful. For questions please contact us at [email protected] |
