Learning community programs play a critical role in developing and nurturing productive campus and community collaborations. Through reviewing the literature and reflecting on their own experiences, the authors illustrate how cross-disciplinary learning community partnerships have shaped collaborative initiatives among librarians and department faculty to advance student education. This case study also explores how learning community partnerships have provided professional development opportunities for educators in areas such as discussion-based teaching, reflective practice, anti-racist pedagogy, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. Benefits, challenges, and lessons learned from cultivating learning community partnerships are also discussed.
