The William H. Thompson Scholars Learning Community (TSLC) is a living/learning community for students who are awarded the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation Scholarship at the University of Nebraska Kearney (UNK). The Thompson Learning Communities were initiated in 2008 at UNK, UNO, and UNL through a partnership between the University of Nebraska and the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation; the learning communities are named in honor of William H. Thompson, the father of Susan Thompson Buffett. Students who choose to attend UNK become known as Thompson Scholars and automatically become part of the living/learning community.

While the Thompson Scholars Learning Community Program focuses primarily on the 1st-year and 2nd-year experience, the TSLC Program also provides services to 3rd-year through 5th-year Thompson Scholars. The TSLC Staff offers academic support and individualized attention to students so that they can achieve academic success, become engaged in campus life, and graduate from college.
“Coming from a very small town and school, I was really nervous about moving to a bigger place. Living in the Learning Community made it feel more like home because I had a solid core group of people that I got to know and could recognize on campus. I made some of my best friends living in the Learning Community. It is a great environment to cultivate the many new connections and relationships that form in the first year of college.”
