Honors Residence Communities

Honors Learning Community:

Honors students in their first year are encouraged to live in the Honors Community in High Mountain East, the residence hall for first year scholarship recipients. There is also a group of mentors, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who reside in the learning community. If you are interested in becoming a mentor contact the Honors Office.

It is our intention to bring Honors students together into a community where their academic efforts are supported through their residential experience, and where their experience will be enhanced through shared engagements from their peers, as well as staff and faculty. The Learning Community is a cooperative space that Honors faculty will visit for casual conversations or to show films and moderate discussions. The community that facilitates student exploration with field trips to nearby cities and regions, and that provides opportunities to participate in national conferences and meetings. Along with the academic experiences, the community has fun with social and cultural programming, and draws people out to enjoy the social experiences that college has to offer.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Dr. Dinan at dinans@wpunj.edu or Rebecca Fegeley, 973.720.5269 or fegeleyr@wpunj.edu.
