Communities that will help you thrive

About

STEM Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) offer Douglass STEM students a unique and innovative experience that supports excellence and success in their STEM majors and in preparation of their STEM careers. Each LLC includes three components: L-L-C: Living together with other students in their field of study; Learning together in a house course designed specifically for their area of study; Community building and programs with faculty, staff, alumnae, and peers. Students in an LLC have access to exclusive coursework, programming, mentoring, tutoring, and opportunities related to the development of their STEM identity and membership in the STEM community.

Student Voices

“The most fulfilling part of Douglass for me has been the connections I’ve made with my fellow engineers. While being a part of Reilly DELLC, I have made friends for life who understand the trials and tribulations of engineering school. We are always there to celebrate each other’s achievements.” - Eshana Bethur
