Communication and Exploration

The Communication and Exploration Living Learning Community (CEC) introduces students to new people, places, and events on campus and around Boise. It offers a space to create connections and build academic pathways toward a degree. Everyone’s journey is different, and CEC helps students shape their own first-year experience.

Why You Should Apply

A built-in support system simplifies the transition into college life. Students learn from each other and from resources, opportunities, and activities provided by CEC to decide on options that work best for them. Whether considering a change in one’s major, adding a minor, or finding the right classes, CEC is there to help.

All majors are welcome (including undecided).
