The Transfer Learning Community (TLC) is composed of transfer students who are in their first year of studies at UNC Asheville. The perspective of the transfer student is one worth highlighting. Using the Eight Dimensions of Wellness and the UNC Asheville Strategic Plan, TLC residents will learn how to lean into their time on campus, further their personal development, and create community. For more information, please contact Dylan Lawing, Associate Director of Residence Life, at dlawing@unca.edu.
