Not only did I learn more about other cultures - in the Mosaic program I also learned about myself.
  The pursuit of individuality and diversity in our society is more important than ever. In the Mosaic Living Learning Community, students explore other cultures and how they fit into a diverse society.  

The Office of Residence Life and New Student Programs teamed with the College of Arts and Science in 1996 to create the Mosaic Living Learning Community. The goal of this community is to explore individuality and cultural identity while creating a living enviornment that is intellectually and socially rich. This program is committed to excellence in academics, a broad-based liberal arts education, and being open to all cultural and social perspectives. The Mosaic Living Learning option is open for both first-year and upperclass students.

IDS 151 Mosaic Seminar: Based on enhancing the Miami University Mission Statement, this required one-credit hour course will work towards improving the environment at Miami University by educating men and women for responsible, informed citizenship and meaningful employment. This course is held in Mosaic's residence hall; however, students will be expected to attend the American and World Cultures Lecture Series outside the hall. To promote reflection students will journal their experiences as part of IDS 151.

IDS 151: Sample Syllabus

In this community, students have the opportunity to take an in-hall section of ENG 111/112 (College Compostition and Literature).
