The URI College of Engineering Living Learning Community
The preperation for a career in Engineering is based on an intense study of mathematics, basic sciences, and applications of engineering principals and concepts common to all branches of the profession. The College of Engineering (COE) recognizes the quality and uniqueness of its professional programs, and that they are in high demand. The COE works diligently to provide an integrated learning environment that includes a variety of support opportunities for the academic, personal, and professional success of its students.
One of the newest initiatives to promote the development and Academic Success of first year engineering students is the Engineering Living Learning Community (ELLC). The ELLC is a dynamic and engaging program that promotes personal growth and academic success.
What is the Engineering Living Learning Community (ELLC)?
The Engineering Living Learning Community consists of two, centrally located on-campus Residence Halls, Tucker and Merrow, populated primarily by engineering students. In addition to living amongst your classmates, you will be able to participate in various programs specifically designed to assist you throughout your first year on campus.
Why should I participate in this program?
It's all about building a supportive community with our students and faculty. The ELLC provides you with a unique opportunity to live with fellow students who take the same courses as you, in an environment that stimulates academic and personal growth. It's a great place to form study groups, make new friends, meet the engineering faculty, deans and upper class engineering students (all up close and personal), and find the additional support needed for academic success.
Who is eligible, and who should I contact if I'm interested in the ELCC?
Any first year Engineering Student is eligible to participate in the ELLC. If you are interested in living in the ELLC or have questions about it, please contact:
- Dr. George E. Veyera, Interim Associate Dean, College of Engineering
E-mail: acadsec@egr.uri.edu
