Full Summary: Georgia Tech's living-learning community program, ThinkBig, invites student participants to choose from a variety of non-academic topics, joining a residence hall community of students who meet informally once a week with a designated faculty leader. Twice monthly, each community has an event related to its topic. The events consist of group outings, guest speakers who are experts in the group's topic, and hands-on activities for the group, with student community members helping to mold the program content. Co-sponsored by CAE and the Department of Housing-Residence Life, the program brings exciting out-of-the-classroom knowledge and experiences to students through interaction with peers and professors. The interaction is fun and engaging, and enables students to explore interesting subjects under the leadership of a faculty member, away from the formality of a classroom.
