Majors Eligible to Join
Connect Four is a student success program open to first-year and transfer students with a major in the College of Health and Human Sciences, including open option.
Program Description
Looking for a space to meet friends, share ideas, and be encouraged as you navigate your first year at Iowa State? Join us once a week, when we focus on building a strong community of learners, growing personally and professionally, doing well academically, and enjoying your college experience. You will benefit from field trips, dinners with faculty and staff, getting to know upper-level peers, learning more about yourself, and much more. Students who participate in Connect Four tend to have a higher first-semester GPA than students who choose not to participate.
Living Options
We offer a living option if you are interested. The Connect Four Residential Learning Community is offered in conjunction with the ISU Department of Residence and is housed in Larch Hall.
Please contact Carmen Flagge (cflagge@iastate.edu) or Jack Taylor (jtayl22@iastate.edu) if you are interested.
Signing up
First-year and transfer students can sign-up during Orientation. Connect Four students are not required to live-in to participate in Connect Four, but we highly encourage participation in this additional opportunity for community.
To sign up for a residential learning community, simply select your learning community preference when filling out your Department of Residence contract in the Housing portal. You can go in and update your learning community preference information at any time up until the deadline without losing your “priority date.”
