New Living Learning Communities engage first-year students outside of class

After a successful pilot program last year, this fall Saint Edward’s Hall became the Living Learning Center with four new Living Learning Communities: Arts Alive, Well Inc., Global Faith, and Wide World and Sports. All of the themed groups strive to build a community with new students who have common goals and a desire to be engaged outside of the classroom. The LLCs help students both fit in and stand out as they begin their college careers.

Living Learning Communities are collaborations between residence life staff and academics that help students connect and grow during their first year at college. The primary focus is to create an environment that supports the educational mission of the university, by providing students with out-of-class opportunities to participate in social, cultural, recreational, academic and community service programs.
