The Living Learning Community Program at UCLA is a Residential Life initiative to support the academic, social, and personal needs of Bruins as they pursue their academic endeavors. Students in these communities have the opportunity to be a part of academic experiences with their peers and interact with faculty, enjoying the benefits of being part of a diverse community that shares scholarly interests. In the year 2021-2022 we made it our goal to make students feel more connected to school and campus life, while making students feel connected to each other. We accomplished this through thoughtful crafting of our LLC events that encouraged students and faculty, which helped our communities flourish!
The Community Development Internship is an opportunity for students and residents to gain leadership experience. The LLC Community Development Intern, otherwise known as a CDI, is meant to help build and connect residents to resources as well as participate in a wide range of events and activities created by their student leadership team made up of the Resident Assistant(s). The functions of all Community Development Interns are the same, however, the manner in which functions are implemented may vary according to the assigned Living Learning Communities. The goal of the CDI is to fulfill the 9 deliverables of the LLCs, while developing strong networks between students, faculty, and stakeholders.
