Dear Interested Students,
Assignment to one of the 128 spaces in Bryan Hall is contingent
upon an incoming freshman's acceptance into the Bryan Hall
Learning Community. This program's application materials do
not ask for grades or test scores; instead, they ask the applicant
to write two essays that focus on curiosity and the desire
to learn. The program's Steering Committee, comprised of faculty
members, student affairs professionals, and students who have
lived in Bryan Hall, reviews and rates all completed applications.
The director of Bryan Hall, a faculty member from the College
of Arts and Sciences, combines the individual ratings into
one ranked list. If anyone among the top 128 applicants chooses
not to accept the invitation, we proceed down the ranked list
in order to honor the results of the thoughtful deliberations
that are at the heart of this process.
-- Lawrence G. Abele
Provost and Executive Vice President, Academic Affairs
