This freshman learning community provides:

• A network of support through peer mentors, Parker Adams Fellows, and faculty-in-residence who helps to guide Parker-Adams students through academic and personal issues
• Designated sections of AS 101 (fall) and AS 102 (spring), which help students learn about campus services while immersing students in experiential learning.
• Opportunities to take classes with students in similar major
• The option to live with peer mentor in Paty Hall (subject to availability).

Parker-Adams is designed to be fun, yet still enrich students’ academic abilities. Throughout the year, our dedicated staff of Parker-Adams Fellows plan events like a murder mystery dinner, themed movie nights, and the student favorite “PA at the Lake.” In Parker-Adams, there is always a friend for times of work and play.
