The Kinesiology Living & Learning Community (LLC) includes a supportive and engaging environment for students who are headed toward careers and/ or graduate study in allied health professions, health-related fitness, and various other fields that have kinesiological foundations (sports psychology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, etc.). LLC participants will have the opportunity to take courses together and engage in professional, personal, and leadership development opportunities to supplement their in-class experiences.

What the LLC aims to do?

By taking courses together, you will quickly develop strong bonds, have a unique opportunity to form study groups, participate in tutoring sessions, and challenge and support one another throughout the transition from high school to college. The Kinesiology LLC will be located in Magnolia Hall for 2026-2027. All LLC locations are subject to change.
