ACADEMIC INITIATIVES
They understand the purpose of the
community and can relate to those
students' experiences as a first year in
that community."
Honors communities can be
tightly integrated by having a common
purpose or goal within the LLC.
Some honors LLCs link the residents
through common courses such as an
honors introductory class. This could
be a requirement through the honors
program or something specific to
membership in the LLC. Many honors
programs have honors sections of
courses like English or chemistry that
students are required to take to stay in
good standing. Penven says, "Students
in the Honors LLC communities have
specific seminar classes that are for
community members and are required
to enroll in this every year they are in
the community." Many residence life
departments create goals or projects
specific to membership in the LLC.

Some have a specific curriculum
for the students in their LLC that
goes beyond the curriculum of the
honors program. This could range
from a programming model with
topical requirements to a residential
curriculum focused on a holistic
experience. This allows residence life
staff, working in collaboration with
their academic partners, to create a
full and rewarding experience for
these students. Common goals for
the LLC can be fairly simple. Think
of developing a mission or vision
statement or learning outcomes for
the program to home in on the true
goal of the program. Ask staff, after
spending a year in this LLC, what they
think students should learn or develop.
Answering this question can help
establish the goal and purpose of the
LLC, and it gives all the stakeholders a
good starting point and something to
come back to when conflicts arise.

RUN DATES

The most important part in the
process of creating an honors LLC
is to build partnerships. The honors
community on the academic side is
generally already a well-constructed
group and is a natural fit for a
developing LLC. The thrilling part
about working with honors students
is that they are more likely to be
excited and engaged in a variety of
different activities, and that can create
a vivacious community. ■
