Learning Communities

As a first-year student, you will be a part of either a Living Learning Community (LLC) or a Common Good Learning Community (CGLC).

  • LLC's are specialized living environments that help connect students in and out of the classroom. Each LLC is unique, but all are centered on an academic area of interest or academic program.
  • The goal of a CGLC is to explore the University's mission (to advance the Common Good) through a wide range of academic topics.

Tommie Sports

As a student, you will have access to plenty of Division I sports teams, and we’ll need you to bring the noise and help us create new traditions. Our Tommies will be competing for opportunities to ball, puck, swim and succeed on the national stage and show people what our university is all about.

Athletics events and pre-and post-game traditions are shared with all Tommies as a great way to meet new friends and unite across campus.
