The Environmental Design (ENVD) Living Learning Community (LLC), housed in Willard Hall, is a residential community for first-year ENVD students to engage in regular programming that will supplement the academic rigor of their design education. As part of the ENVD First-Year Experience Program, students will create meaningful connections with their cohort, engage in social and academic events, as well as develop a deeper understanding of the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion and allyship.
Building Connections & Community
We designed our living learning community to help students transition into higher education by building strong, foundational connections among their cohort, the larger ENVD community, and the CU campus community. Students will engage in weekly events that are targeted towards developing academic and professional skills, building networks and creating a better understanding of our connections to Environmental Design.
Mentoring programs have proven to result in strong retention and persistence within students transitioning from their first year to second year and beyond.
