IDEA is a faculty-led Living Learning Community (LLC) unique within higher education. Each of FOUR independent interest groups engage students with overlapping passions somehow related to CREATIVITY, as they experience unique networking, activities, and resources.

Together, residents form a rich, diverse mosaic. Since innovative, big IDEAs are likely to occur when different worldviews intersect, this formula catalyzes meaningful explorations and lifelong friendships!

Each resident belongs to one of the following groups. Some activities target a single group, while others impact the entire community.
