Students who participate in the W.A.V.E. community will live together on campus in a dedicated section of our reidence halls. This arrangement gives these students the opportunity to utilize one another for continued academic support and become a close-knit community. Faculty, staff and the upper-class student Community Leader will engage students in programming to enhance their academic experience. This is an opportunity for students who share a similar interest in waterborne activities to live and learn alongside each other, explore new ideas and create friendships to last a lifetime.
All this and more will help you gain professional experience as a novice mariner. You will discover what it means to be a member of a real nautical crew and a life-long learning community.
