First-year students may take advantage of Living Learning Communities (LLC). These are unique environments for select groups of students to share common residential and learning experiences. Based on disciplinary and interdisciplinary themes, LLCs create intentional links between academic, social and residential experiences. Students with similar majors or academic interests live and learn together, with approximately 120 first-year students scheduled to participate in 2009. Each community is facilitated by the residential life staff, faculty partners, the Student Learning Center and the Office of Student Retention. Faculty partners interact informally on a regular basis and also create formal programs and information session to get to know students on multiple levels.

Space is limited. Priority is given to students who demonstrate a commitment to academic success, intellectual curiosity, civic engagement and lifelong learning.
