Dauch College of Business Establishes Living-Learning Community
Ashland University’s Richard E. and Sandra J. Dauch College of Business and Economics (COBE) has established a new program titled “COBE Connection” that will place first semester freshman students from the Dauch College in a living-learning community during their freshman and sophomore years.
Students in this new program will better connect to Ashland University, optimize their opportunities to enhance their career path through networking, build relationships with faculty and fellow COBE students, and experience a different perspective of learning.
According to Terry Rumker, assistant professor of finance, students will take two courses together each semester in both their freshman and sophomore years. Rumker said living in the same residence hall will provide students with an immediate support system during the critical first two years. In addition, the living-learning community will allow students to:
create customized social events
develop life-long friendships
gain easy access to other students in their major
increase interaction with faculty and staff
improve academic performance with less stress
