Every residence hall participates in a Quality of Life Survey every semester. The results of each building are compared to other buildings to see if differences exist. Typically the LLCs yield more positive results in most categories. Also in 1996-1997 we studied new students in these programs and noticed they earned significantly higher GPAs and enrolled in more credits than students in other residence halls. Assessment activities are continuing.
Every program is interdisciplinary.
The curriculum incorporates issues of diversity both in courses and programs and activities. Our student body is very diverse and so are most students in the LLC program. Current faculty include several from minority groups, but we must do a better effort in recruiting faculty of color, especially Asian faculty. We have exact information on all these categories. Since our programs cover many academic disciplines, faculty come from all sectors of campus.
