    CommUNITY Lab鈥檚 meaning to me lies within the name itself, it's a community. A community of people that go above and beyond, and even put themselves on the line for students to reach goals that we hold dear. There have also been bonds with other students that I have developed because of community lab. I personally appreciate the support on all levels academically and personally from Todd and Amanda.

    For me personally having CommUNITY Lab has helped me so much with moving to college and being a way from family. When I have a problem or an issue, I can always count on CommUNITY Lab to help me even if that is just someone to talk to or to get advice or them giving us resources and people that can help us with something on campus. My point is that CommUNITY Lab is more than people to help me when I鈥檓 struggling, it's my family and friends that I can count on just like they can count on me.

    Community Lab has had a huge impact on my time here at 聚色阁, it has allowed me to make good friends and lifelong connections. This is a community that always has your back and your best interest at heart. If it wasn't for Community Lab believing in me and my ability to succeed, I probably would be 10 steps behind in reaching and achieving my goals of becoming a physical therapist, but instead it has put me 10 steps ahead. 

CommUNITY Lab was launched in the fall of 2021 to remove financial, academic, and social-emotional barriers to student success for incoming college access students from various pipeline programs.

Through cross-divisional partnerships, scholars reside together in Lake Hall, learn through co-registered course sections with hand-selected faculty, plug into campus resources, and co-create individualized achievement plans with dedicated CLab staff in the Center for Undergraduate Excellence. 鈥疌ommUNITY鈥疞ab also provides peer mentorship and signature hands-on learning and development opportunities including service, mental and financial wellness workshops, student employment, and travel experiences.
