Boyer: “It is the classroom where community begins, but learning also reaches out to departments, to residential halls, to the campus commons. In a purposeful community, learning is pervasive.”
Light: “ Learning outside of classes, especially in residential settings and extracurricular activities such as the arts, is vital.”
Astin: “The single most potent source of influence on leadership development among
College undergraduates appears to be the amount of interaction that students have with each other.
Enhanced leadership skills are associated with participating in volunteer work, tutoring other students, and working on group projects with other students.”
Chickering and Reisser: “Developing
Interpersonal competence is due to the amount of people a student meets throughout his or her college life, whether it is inside or outside the classroom.”
