• Expand upon and apply their existing knowledge in creative and constructive ways; 
• Work through assignments and prepare for exams with experienced and learned students; 
• Collaborate on the development of their ideas, theses, research, and more; 
• Experience and enhance the holistic liberal arts experience.
