Living-Learning Communities

For more information on our LLC Program, check out out 2018-2019 LLC Brochure (pdf).

Through living and participating in an LLC, students will be provided with intentional and meaningful opportunities that will help them to make purposeful links between the academic and co-curricular components of their college experience.

LLC students live together in designated floors within each residence hall and often share the same major, passion or career interest. Each LLC is supported by a team comprised of a Faculty/Staff Advisor, Resident Advisor, Resident Director or Area Coordinator to help advise the community.

Resident Advisors create programs for LLC students that help to make connections, build skills and expose them to opportunities happening across campus that will promote their growth and development as people, community members and scholars.

The team works closely with the students in each LLC to create a dynamic, intense and engaged living-learning environment with a strong focus on student development and academic success.
