Theme Communities

Connections Newsletter

Volume 1, Issue 2

The Office of Residential Life proudly introduces themed communities to Delta Terrace, Dykstra Hall and Sproul Hall:

  1. African Diaspora Studies Theme
  2. Chican@/Latin@ Studies Theme
  3. Green/Sustainability Theme
  4. Health Sciences Theme
  5. Transfer Experience Theme

Through Theme Communities, students with similar interests can live together and participate in specially designed programs that cater to their academic and social interests. Each theme is partnered by an academic department and Faculty member. Residents living in theme communities also have an opportunity to enroll in Fiat-Lux Seminar courses with their peers, enjoying the benefits of being part of an integrated community that shares scholarly interests.

Theme residents have the chance to contribute to the greater Los Angeles area through Leadership Activities and Community Service programs. Each theme community is affiliated with a number of students groups on campus, giving residents the opportunity to interact and engage in additional activities that enhance their overall experience. Students will be part of a living and learning community that fosters student development, supports academic success, promotes responsible citizenship, and creates safe environments that spark their interests and leave a lasting impact in their experience at UCLA.
