WISER Residence Community

The WISER is open to all upperclassmen majoring in engineering and science. The purpose of the program is to give all students the network and companionship that will help them stay in engineering and science majors. Studies have shown that living-learning communities empower students to build community and leadership opportunities. 

The WISER LLC gives students an opportunity to thrive together. Residents are provided professional development sessions resulting in the completion of a professional leadership portfolio as well as opportunities to participate in social and community activities as they pursue their STEM degrees. WISER is located in Douthit Hills West, Building B. For more information, visit us at 158 Freeman Hall from 8 am to 4:30 pm.
