These communities are faculty-led and each focus on a topic ranging from humor and innovation to sustainability. 

Each community has between 20 to 40 students. 

Faculty leaders define their own topic based on interest and receive a stipend for their work, depending on the number of students participating in their program. 

The deadline for submitting a proposal for academic year 2012-2013 is Oct. 31.
