Living and Learning Communities

You arrive at your residence hall on Move-In Weekend. You’re greeted by your Resident Academic Mentor (RAM) and learn they live in the same hall as you and there’s four of them!
But what exactly does that mean for you?

Academic Support

Your RAMs hold office hours and study sessions for you to ask questions and seek help with class topics and problems.

A Point of Contact

You’ll have questions on how to enroll in classes, how to join a club, where to find a classroom, how to make an appointment with faculty, etc. Your RAM can help. Oh by the way, there are actually 4 RAMs in the ELLC residence hall and you have access to all of them.

Programming and Events

For first-year engineering students, the ELLC offers a unique experience that includes monthly programming and events, as well as vital resources in a centrally located campus setting. All first-year engineering students are invited to participate in ELLC activities, whether they live on-campus or off-campus.
