Honors

The Honors Living Learning Community (LLC) offers an intimate and intellectually stimulating residential experience for students in the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Honors Program. In partnership with 91³Ô¹ÏÍø's Honors Program, this community is designed to foster intellectual curiosity, personal growth, and a commitment to lives of meaning, service, and leadership.

As an extension of the Honors Program, the Honors LLC provides residents with opportunities to engage deeply with their enhanced liberal arts curriculum beyond the classroom. Students are encouraged to make connections across disciplines, courses, and cohorts, cultivating the intellectual virtues and skills necessary to thrive in a complex and evolving world.

Through immersive educational experiences, thought-provoking discussions, and community events, residents take responsibility for their personal development, academic achievement, and professional aspirations.
