Experiences

Each Living-Learning Community has notable experiences for students. For the Education LLC this includes:

  • Visits: In the past, the Education LLC has taken a “field trip” style trip to Connor Prairie. Visiting the living history museum provided a meaningful and educational experience off-campus for students in the LLC.
  • Coffee and Canvas: This Education legacy program provides students with an opportunity to connect with their LLC peers by expressing their creativity. Generally during this program, students are provided coffee and painting materials.
  • Educational Panels: Educational panels bring community stakeholders, faculty, and staff directly to students involved in the Education LLC. Through the panels, students are provided with the opportunity to have educational conversations and ask questions of those participating.

Resource Room

Located on the second floor of North West Residence Hall, the resource room was specifically designed for students majoring in the education and humanities fields of study and features a variety of equipment and technology for students to use.

A few of the resources available include MakerBot 3D printers, a Glowforge, Promethean boards, sewing machines, large hard surface craft tables, a computer lab, and more. A variety of common educational resources are also available for checkout in the space and allow students to explore topics of interest. The resource room is available for those in the Education LLC to engage in their co-curricular learning interests, pursue passions, and complete projects.
