Paul M. Lisnek LAS Hub

The Paul M. Lisnek LAS Hub is a space for students to find the support and resources you'll need throughout your undergraduate experience. The Hub, located behind the marble staircase in Lincoln Hall, welcomes students to learn about experiential learning from peers and professionals in an informal setting. This is accomplished through:

Peer Mentoring: Learn about student organizations, volunteer opportunities, community engagement, internships, and research opportunities. Prepare necessary materials to get involved (e.g., resumes, cover letters, applications).
Drop-in Advising: Meet with professionals from LAS Career Services, LAS Honors, and the Writers Workshop
