Living & Learning Communities
Wellness
WLLC students work together to rearrange classmates along a log during the fall retreat to Cal-Wood.
The Wellness LLC is an engaged community that fosters balanced living through academic and personal journeys of wellness. In the Wellness LLC, students work to cultivate and maintain a healthful lifestyle as it applies to self, spirituality and community. In this LLC, students become more aware of their strengths and challenges in the dimensions of wellness such as spirituality, fitness and physical health, community wellness, emotional wellness and mental wellbeing. With the support of the community, students thrive in the Wellness LLC and create lasting friendships.
The community is developed and nurtured through experiential programming, community engagement, and regular interaction with students, staff and faculty. As a member of the community, you will enjoy retreats, community projects, and wellness workshops in addition to your academic class in Wellness. For students with a strong desire to take their studies in Wellness to the next step, we offer an academic minor in Wellness. The LLC courses are the foundation for the minor.

Why did you join the Wellness LLC?
I joined the Wellness LLC in hopes that it would help me meet people with similar interests as myself. I also joined because I thought it would help me stay fit throughout the year. In just one quarter though, it has done much more than that; it has helped me understand life on a whole new level.
What is the best part of being in an LLC?
The best part about being in an LLC is the bonds that will form between you and your classmates as well as with the professor. The Wellness LLC program does a really great job of creating a comfortable environment for everyone to just be who they are.
What has been your favorite LLC event and why?
My favorite LLC event so far was the retreat because it gave everyone a chance to bond with each other and also with themselves. I know that when I got back from the retreat I felt almost like a new person and I knew that if I was ever in need of something, my friends, Professor, or Coordinator would be there in a heartbeat.
