Living and Learning Communities

The Enclave Living and Learning Community serves as an enclave for interested students who are committed to deepening their understanding of the purpose and development of "cultural enclaves" and "safe spaces" in higher education; and how they function in surrounding communities. Residents of this learning community will learn about and practice healthy self-care, peer support, and community development strategies, while exploring student organizational and multicultural development theories, and working toward the improvement of cultural groups whose mission align with the principles of social justice. Additionally, Enclave LLC residents will engage in intra-cultural projects and community learning that extend beyond perceived and real boundaries internal and external to campus. Through social and intellectual projects with student groups and community organizations, Enclave residents will get to know more about themselves, their affiliations, their campus, and their surrounding community.

The PRIDE Living Learning Community is a community committed to enhancing the knowledge, skills around social justice and education around gender and sexual diversity. PRIDE aims to provide a safe-space community that allows for a holistic understanding of how gender and sexuality intersect with our multiple identities and how these intersectionality's shape our experience in the world. Those selected for the PRIDE LLC live in an inclusive community in a renovated wing of South Hall, which includes a shared kitchen, lounge and all gender restroom.

The Revitalizing Nations LLC is a living and learning community dedicated to the exploration and expression of the traditional and contemporary aspects of Native American and Indigenous intellectual, social, cultural and spiritual life. This LLC is geared towards developing a sense of community for Indigenous students and their allies. Students are welcomed to engage in the programming and recommended opportunities to support a commitment to harmony, fellowship, healing, and knowledge. Though the Smudging and Pipe Ceremonies Policy protects students' rights in any on campus living environment, the Revitalizing Nations LLC particularly supports and creates a welcoming environment for indigenous spiritual practices.
