Voyager Learning Community

Voyager is a one-year residential learning community for first year students at Missouri S&T. The Voyager program helps new students adjust to college life by providing a community in which students live together and learn together.

Voyager students will: • Live together in Thomas Jefferson Residence Hall • Share similar academic experiences • Develop a connection with the Missouri S&T campus • Have opportunities to get involved on campus • Develop leadership skills • Develop skills for academic success and personal growth

The Voyager Commitment

Voyager students will share similar academic experiences both in and out of the classroom. To be part of Voyager, students must be enrolled in any two of the following courses: Chemistry 1, English 20, Psychology 50 or any freshman math class (Math 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 15 or 21).

In addition to the shared classroom experience, students will participate in the Voyager Seminar Series, and be active on Voyager committees. Weekly seminar sessions, presented by Missouri S&T faculty, staff, and students, will offer Voyager students a comprehensive introduction to the Missouri S&T campus and the beneficial resources available, including academic skills development resources and information on how to get involved and make friends at Missouri S&T.

New! Voyager Seminar Series- Fall 2007

Voyager students are required to attend a minimum number of seminars through out the academic year. At the conclusion of each semester, the student will also write an essay summarizing their experience. Students that meet the minimum requirements are eligible to receive a Voyager Certificate that will be recorded on their co-curricular transcript.
