Description

Specialties

EDGE Learning Community is a collegiate residence for young adults motivated to achieve success in life. We equip students who would benefit from a support-​rich and sober environment to be responsible, autonomous adults.

To ensure that students have all of the skills and support they need to be successful in a college environment, EDGE features an experienced college learning coach who provide one-​on-​one mentorship and direction on educational and personal matters.

Support is provided through individual life coaching. Our Life Coaches are an integral part of the student experience, advocating and networking on the behalf of students. In addition to connecting them with opportunities for growth, Life Coaches are sounding boards and mentors that support overall development and life balance.
