What is a Living Learning Community?

A Living Learning Community provides students with the opportunity to integrate learning into their living 24/7. The Community is a site where living and learning intersect. Students not only engage the topic--in this case, world wellness--in the classroom in two linked courses, but they continue to work with the topic outside the classroom in a series of co- and extra-curricular activities, including living together in a dedicated wing of Kellas Hall, in a myriad of other activities coordinated with the Resident Assistant, Graduate Assistant, and professors.
