Living & Learning Communities

Fostering communities with the purpose of advancing the public good.

生活和学习社区(llc)是结合学术学习的第一年项目, residential life, and hands-on experiences. 我们有限责任公司的学生可以期望为一个有意设计的住宅社区做出贡献，并共同参与一个特定主题的学分学术课程. 对于有兴趣与其他对特定主题领域充满热情的学生一起生活并在学术空间中共同学习的学生来说，有限责任公司是理想的社区.

Through retreats, individual time with faculty and staff, engaging guest speakers, and opportunities to meaningfully connect with the larger community, these programs deepen your learning and establish lasting friendships.

Your Passion

每个季度，LLC的学生都会参加与这个主题相关的研讨班. 这些课程由DU教授授课，课程学分可用于相关辅修或相关证书. 每个LLC都有一名教师主任和一名项目协调员，他们热衷于提供课外体验，这将提高LLC学生的第一年体验. Our programs include a collaborative learning environment, project-based learning, guest speakers, field trips, overnight retreats, and engagement with the greater Denver community.
