Mills College
ER-T2-8: Themed Semester or Year

In fall 2012 each first-year student resident will participate in one of 13 Living Learning Communities (LLCs). The Office of the Provost and Dean of the Faculty and the Division of Student Life collaborate to offer two types of LLCs to our first-year residents: Academic Fusion and Scholars in Action. First-year residents who select Academic Fusion LLCs will be automatically enrolled in the listed introductory course and will reside in close proximity to one another. Generally, the professor for this class will also serve as their first-year advisor. The Scholar in Action LLCs live in close proximity together in the Residence Hall and participate in experiences related to their theme. Over the course of the fall term, the professor, students, and residence advisors for all LLCs will attend lectures, films, museum exhibitions, and other activities related to the central theme of their LLC. The themes for the Living Learning Communities include: * Sustainability and Local Food Living Learning Community * Social Justice and Educational Change Living Learning Community * Science Living Learning Community * Leadership and Management Skills Living Learning Community * Adventure Education Living Learning Community * Dog and Cat Lovers Living Learning Community * Ethnic Studies Living Learning Community * Women and Gender Studies Living Learning Community * Sociology Living Learning Community * Psychology Living Learning Community * Philosophy Living Learning Community * Music Living Learning Community * History Living Learning Community
