Living-learning communities continue to be a popular topic at many institutions, but actually creating effective LLCs can be a challenge for many campuses. Join us for an engaging discussion with the two chief researchers from the National Study of Living-Learning Programs (NSLLP). These experts will share their perspectives as they review key recommendations for creating and implementing living-learning communities. Joining them are several practitioners who will share practical tips for implementing successful practices on campus.
