Living & Learning Communities
Fostering communities with the purpose of advancing the public good.
The LLCs are first-year programs that combine academic learning, residential life, and hands-on experiences. Through retreats, individual time with faculty and staff, engaging guest speakers, and opportunities to meaningfully connect with the larger community, these programs deepen your learning and establish lasting friendships.
