Creating the Extraordinary Student Experience: Office of Student Life
The Sophomore Learning and Involvement Learning Community (SLIC) is an opportunity for second-year students (including campus-change students) to explore the next steps in their collegiate learning process. Intentional opportunities to further develop peer, campus and local community connections provide participants opportunities to develop the skills and knowledge needed to adapt to and thrive in new and unique community contexts at Ohio State and beyond.
Students within this learning community have diverse academic interests, and will have the opportunity to interact with faculty and staff from a variety of fields and specializations. This LC is a community of all second-year students. No previous LC experience is necessary.
“Through programs put on in SLIC I have been able to learn skills that will surely help me in the future while having fun and getting to know more about my friends. Thanks to SLIC I have gotten involved with things I never thought I would have an opportunity to do. If students are looking for a way to get involved in the community, explore what Ohio State has to offer, and learn more about themselves I highly recommend they consider joining SLIC.” –Andrea Bush
SLIC prides itself on creating a unique experience each year, based upon the cohort’s interests and needs. Previous experiences and potential future opportunities include:
Please note that all students in Learning Communities are required to reside in a space within the Learning Community and live with other Learning Community participants. Learning Community students may only request roommates accepted into the same LC.
Note: The Sophomore Learning and Involvement Community (SLIC) is not the same as the Sophomore Transformational Experience Program (STEP). As a second-year student, you are able to participate in Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP) and SLIC. These two programs feature complimentary components that support your success as a second-year student. For more information about the STEP program, please visit step.osu.edu.
