Exercise Science Living Learning Community


 

The Exercise Science Living Learning Community is designed for first year students in the School of Kinesiology, Recreation, and Sport who are majoring in Exercise Science. 

 


Each semester, LLC members will enroll in two courses together that are required for the Exercise Science major. Students will also live on the same floor of a residence hall with other Exercise Science students and will benefit from peer engagement, faculty mentorship, and experiential learning opportunities. 

Members of the LLC will have opportunities to engage with each other, with faculty members, and with other students in the Exercise Science program. Examples of engagement and educational activities include: 

  • Guest speakers and discussions on topics in Exercise Science 
  • Educational exercise sessions
  • Pre-registration group advising session
  • Peer mentoring
  • Faculty meet and greets
