Students in this community will share a floor section and bathroom with students of all gender-identities and have a resident assistant (RA) who is focused on supporting an inclusive community. During the fall semester of their first year in the LLC, students will be required to enroll in GSWS0002: LGBTQIA+ Communities, taught by Prof.
