Living-Learning Community
A Living-Learning Community (LLC) offers a unique opportunity for students with common interests and/or identities to live together — connections that help guide students through their academic and social transitions. Some communities are connected specifically to colleges and/or majors; others are designed for students with a shared background. Select Program Advisor (PA for Academics & PA for Residential Experiences) roles are assigned to one of our Department’s Living-Learning Communities. In addition, some Resident Advisors work with LLC residents and are responsible for being positive collaborators with the LLCs theme.
