Global Connections Living Learning Community

The Global Connections Living Learning Community (LLC) is home to both first-year and upper-class students, as well as a diverse mixture of both domestic and international students. Students select Global Connections because of their shared interests in travel, studying languages, and exploring other cultures. Global Connections is a tight-knit, dynamic living learning community where students build strong bonds with one another.

In Global Connections, students will experience:

• an engaged and open atmosphere where students will explore current global topics and various cultures, perspectives, and traditions.
• a living environment with a focus on cultural understanding and intercultural communication.
• membership within the Community Leadership Team, where students can develop leadership skills, become involved in planning hall activities, and get connected with one another.

Students will also have the opportunity to plan and participate in numerous cultural programs throughout the year. Past programs have included:

• International Thanksgiving: share a dish with friends from all over the world
• International festivals: learn about the history, traditions, and food of such holidays as Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival
• Collaborative programs with campus partners
• Group tickets to campus events
• Off-campus excursions to locations such as Butterfield Farms (pumpkin patch and corn maze), Jungle Jim’s (international market), Cincinnati Art Museum, and Newport Aquarium
