Living/learning communities set students apart from other students on campus. We live within a community of people that we have classes together and that we see on a day-to-day basis.
As students within the living learning community, it is our duty to do our best to succeed and to help our students transition from high school life to college life. The Hughes Residential College’s theme, if you will, is “Leadership”.
We focus on many different aspects of what it means to be a leader and what you have to do to become one. Within Hughes we have a new program that is specifically for those who are interested in becoming leaders. It is dutifully named “Hughes Leadership Institute” and we have speakers from on campus and off come and explain different aspects of leadership.
We also take part in a ropes course as one major part of the program. The course and strengths quest is designed to challenge your ability and capacity to be a leader and everyone who went this last semester was better able to handle leadership positions when the course was over.
Hughes is also beginning to become a major part of the community by doing several service projects through Hughes Leadership Institute and The Advocate program. This year we were involved with the Boys and Girls club and we spent an afternoon watching the Bears and Sugar Bears play basketball. It was a great time and to see how happy it made the kids made everything that much better.
We hold ourselves in a high position as members of a living-learning community that strives for success. We simply ask that you try and if you do, you will fit right in with any of the residential colleges that UCA has to offer.
