Flagler College introduces 'Ignite'
learning communities

Flagler College is launching an initiative that will create big changes for the college’s freshmen experience.

This initiative, Ignite, is Flagler’s new Quality Enhancement Plan. Ignite aims to enhance student engagement at Flagler through first-year learning communities.

Students in learning communities take classes together, go to events and collaborate on special projects. The first Ignite learning communities began in Fall 2008; through English, government and art courses, Ignite students studied the theme of “Understanding Power." They created presidential campaign videos, gathered at poetry readings and art shows – overall, they got unique opportunities to learn, grow and interact.

By participating in learning communities, Flagler students become more engaged with their education and more likely to succeed, both in the classroom and beyond.

Over the next five years, Flagler will expand Ignite to include all incoming freshmen. Learning communities are a proven way to strengthen what Flagler College is already known for: providing a learning environment that’s supportive and challenging.

Student Events

Students in the Learning Communities will take field trips together, work on special projects, meet at gatherings – overall, they’ll have a unique experience designed to get them involved with their education.
