LLC Live-In Advisors

Living Learning Communities (LLCs) aspire to combine what is best about the Dartmouth experience: a world-class teaching and learning environment with a vibrant sense of community, guided and supported through engagement with talented faculty, staff, and graduate students. LLCs promote the personal and intellectual development of residents through the relationships that form in residential spaces between undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff. The LLCs in total are served by the House Professor of LLCs who lives near the LLCs and engages students in inter-LLC programming. Each LLC is sponsored by a department or office on campus and advised by a faculty and or staff member. LLCs receive residential oversight from live-in Residential Education professional staff members (Assistant Directors) who supervise the live-in student staff members (Undergraduate Advisors (UGAs)). Each LLC has a Leadership Team that consists of some combination of Faculty/Staff Advisor(s), Live-In Advisor(s), Assistant Directors, and UGAs.

LLC Live-In Advisors live in their assigned LLC to get to know the residents of their community. LLC Live-In Advisors build community during the fall, winter, spring, and summer terms. Some programming is expected during interim periods between terms. LLC Live-In Advisors serve on the LLC Leadership Team and collaborate with others to offer LLC programming opportunities that focus on community building or intellectual engagement. They provide an opportunity to bridge the connection among undergraduate students and graduate students, faculty, and/or staff through mentoring. LLC Live-In Advisors may offer tutoring where appropriate and they dine with residents on a regular basis.
