The Living Learning Center (LLC) is a living learning community for students who are intellectually engaged and want to strengthen their capacity to critically analyze differing viewpoints, to speak clearly and persuasively, to develop an awareness of current events bearing on our global society, and to gain a better understanding of Catholic intellectual tradition. This model provides opportunities for students to enhance their undergraduate experience through involvement with faculty and staff. Through programming, residents of the Living Learning Center have structured opportunities to learn about current events and social issues in this unique residential community.
