LIVING LEARNING COMMUNITIES
Living Learning Communities, or LLCs, are one of many ways we support the personal development and academic success of our residents. LLCs offer students the chance to live with others who share similar majors or interests. LLCs also give students the opportunity to interact with faculty and staff. Research has linked LLC participation to higher GPAs, increased student engagement, and improved graduation rates.
Each LLC is unique, allowing students, faculty and staff to tailor their experience. Faculty involvement may include programs, shared meals in the dining halls, presentations in the residence halls, tutoring and mentoring. Some LLCs may also offer special equipment or research materials.

*The LLC Proposal DEADLINE for any New LLCs or LLCs with location changes or additions is October 1st.*
