First-Year Honors Program Living Learning Community (LLC)
The First-Year Honors Program LLC will be comprised Honors students interested in living in community alongside other first-year Honors students and prepared to help the Honors Program corporately live out its 6 themes:
-
Exploring Fundamental Questions. We are keen about learning alongside some of the greatest thinkers who came before us and exploring their thoughts on such fundamental matters as the relationship of human beings to God and to each other.
-
Facing Disputed Questions. We do not avoid those questions about which reasonable people differ, but rather face them together in a spirit of both inquiry and civility toward others holding various opinions.
-
Cultivating a Christian Worldview. We look for the ways in which our Christian faith rightly shapes our thinking--how we ought to read, write, study, create, and act.
-
Growing and Applying Talents. We desire to be found faithful in how we use our gifts and talents and long to hear our Lord’s affirmation, “Well done.”
-
Engaging in Conversation. Both in and out of the classroom, concerning both academic and non-academic matters, we enjoy learning from one another and about one another through conversation.
-
Enjoying Community. In both serious and light-hearted ways, we enjoy looking for and receiving things that are good and true and beautiful together as a community.
Students in the First-Year Honors Program LLC will do so through:
-
Discussing honors courses and Honors Program lectures, panels, and films.
-
Living together either on the same floor or in close proximity.
-
Engaging with faculty advisors.
-
Hosting occasional events in the residence hall, including events surrounding the Honors Program’s book-of-the-year for 2024-2025, Homer’s Odyssey.
