The Humanities Living-Learning Community gives students an opportunity to examine humanities topics through trips, workshops, and discussions while living and taking classes with other students considering humanities as a profession.

Experiences

Each Living-Learning Community has notable experiences for students. For the Humanities LLC this includes:

  • Star Party: In collaboration with the Department of Science and Humanities, Star Party is the primary event planned annually for the LLC. It is, in essence, a resource and engagement fair that pulls together dozens of academic student organizations in hopes to connect students with their respective departments.
  • Take a Book, Leave a Book: This passive programming opportunity allows students to share resources with others living in the LLC.

Resource Room

Students living in this community can expect an environment that provides several great spaces to engage within the community throughout the academic year.
