Makers Learning Community

What is Makers?
Makers is a residential learning community with special classes, co-curricular activities, close faculty interactions, and access to a makerspace in your residence hall. Makers will experiment, innovate, and create solutions to real-world problems. As Makers you will work closely with a student assistant who was in RU Makers the previous year, and was chosen especially for this mentor position. Makers will also work with a select group of faculty from many academic disciplines who will help refine your skills and support you in your projects.
