Imagine Learning Community

Located in Walsh Hall, Saint Louis University's Imagine Learning Community creates opportunities to explore and engage in humanities topics through both a personal and professional lens. Imagine cultivates connections among students and faculty who share a passion for the humanities; it celebrates reading, writing and artistic pursuits. 

Four students sit on a semi-circular sofa in a residence hall lounge, two stand behind them. All looking at a laptop screen.
 

Why Choose the Imagine Learning Community?

The Imagine Learning Community is a base for students who want to integrate the study of the humanities with the exploration of career paths and possible post-graduate experiences. The students and faculty in this community ask the big questions: What is a good life? How do language and ideas shape our desires? How do beauty and creativity foster a more just society? Imagine students find out how the answers lead to fulfilling professions and vocations. Students will interact with distinguished writers visiting campus for the annual St. Louis Literary Award; they will see how historians put their skills to work in the Jesuit Archives and Research Center; and they will engage with faculty research and projects. The main goal of this learning community is to create a welcoming intellectual and residential experience for first-year students interested in the humanities.

Recommended for: those interested in English, philosophy, theology, history and other College of Arts and Sciences majors. Open to all majors and undecided students.
