Literary and Digital Storytelling Living Learning Community​

The Literary and Digital Storytelling LLC is designed for students interested in how we tell stories as individuals and communities. Students will learn how to analyze what stories mean in literary and digital spaces while also developing skills for crafting thoughtful stories that are persuasive and socially just. The LLC will also prepare students interested in majoring in a range of disciplines, such as literature, creative writing, professional writing, communication studies, digital media arts, pre-law, strategic communication, marketing, and data analytics. The goal of the LLC is to build a close-knit community with shared interests in storytelling and to help students connect those interests to their academic, professional, and personal lives. If you're a student who loves writing, reading, watching films, playing video games, or creating your own content, this is the LLC for you!
