MOSAIC: Making Our Space an Inclusive Community

Mosaic

MOSAIC, an acronym for "Making Our Space an Inclusive Community" is a new living/learning community at SSU geared toward first-time freshmen.

Residents enroll in at least two classes together in the fall - Sociology 201 and University 102 (First Year Experience) - in which they explore the numerous aspects of diversity, social justice, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and much more. Students will also engage in service-learning activities and field trips.

The MOSAIC community will be housed in Chardonnay, in the Zinfandel Village. The goal is to maintain a small, close-knit community where students have the opportunity to create one-on-one relationships with faculty, staff and each other. Space is limited to 50 residents.

For more information on this new program, contact Julie Greathouse at 4-3305 or email julie.greathouse@sonoma.edu
