Common Ground
A look into the growth of identity-based living-learning communities
by Jacquelynn Thomas and James C. Smith
Many people outside of housing are
not aware of what a living-learning
community (LLC) is, let alone what an
identity-based one is and how it can expand a student's higher education experience. Remember the ScHOLA2RS

in Storrs and the Halisi Scholars Black
Living-Learning Community at California State University in Los Angeles,
which both made headlines because
critics thought these institutions
were segregating African American

students? Not only do professionals
in the field know how outlandish that
sounds, but we acknowledge how
far these communities have come in
enhancing the student experience.
Communities based on identity do not
simply house students together based
on identity; they are living-learning
communities that provide intentional
academic and social support to often
marginalized and underrepresented
students in a way that celebrates their
cultural or gender identity.
This article examines identity-based
LLCs at three institutions: the University of California, Riverside; the University of California, Irvine; and the
University of Vermont in Burlington.
The focus will be on the LLCs these
institutions have in common, which
include communities that explore
African/African American, Chicanx/
Latinx, and LGBTQ+ cultures.
According to their LLC website,
UC Riverside's living-learning communities are intended for those with
Resident Educational Services
Create environments for constituents that support community development goals.
Develop and implement programs for constituents that support educational goals.
Identify and promote living/learning programs to constituents.
