Exploring the important issues of our time, new courses are announced and, after a development period, are added to the slate of signature experiences available to students on a rotating basis. In 2025, the office added the Brock Leaders living-learning community to its suite of programs. First-year students selected to be a part of the Brock Leaders share a common suite of courses, experiences designed to aid in their transition to campus, and a living community. In return for participation in the program, Brock Leaders may enroll in a Brock Experience at no cost.
