Since 2010, the MOSAIC Gateway Learning Community has prepared students to think critically, maximize team-based learning, and master the skills needed to achieve a college degree. Throughout the GPS course we aim to deepen your understanding of your why and develop your lifelong skillsets to better navigate the how of college success. We will engage you in the college-level learning process with alumni speakers, leadership panels, career exploration workshops, interactive projects, and hands-on mentorship throughout your first year. This learning community helps students find the answers to questions such as: Who am I as a college student? What am I really passionate about? When will I be able to participate in internships? Where am I able to find more friends and new experiences? Why am I being advised to take certain courses? How am I going to pay for college? Ultimately, the MOSAIC Gateway Learning Community will be a partner in helping you navigate college, focus on learning, and transform your mind for lifelong success!
