Leadership & Community Engagement LLC

“Being a part of the Leadership and Community Engagement LLC, I have the unique opportunity to be surrounded by leaders of all different kinds of backgrounds, past, and ethical/moral codes. I am able to learn and grow as a leader with others with the same purpose.” – Roger Dean II (resident on the floor)

Join the Leadership and Community Engagement LLC floor!

Do you enjoy getting involved in the local community to make a positive difference?  You can live on campus with other students like you - come join us next year on the second floor of Piedmont.  The students here are interested in a range of social change issues: health care, homelessness, animal welfare, the environment and more.  They're addressing them through community service, advocacy, and political action.  This year's LCE LLC residents say their floor-mates are like a family.  On our last survey, 100% of them said they would recommend it to a friend.

So what exactly have we done?

In the Fall Semester of 2012 alone, the LLC has:

-        Gone to the EDGE, a team-building ropes course 

-        Gone on a Service trip to Assateague Island and Ocean City to restore dunes

-        Volunteered at Greenfest

-        Participated in AIDS Walk 

-        Created a LLC Blog, which you can find here. 

-        Volunteered at Environmental Studies on the Piedmont

-        Created blankets for animals in shelters and children in transitional housing with Maddie’s Blankets

-        Volunteered at the Capital Area Food bank

-        And much more!
