The Education and Leadership LLC is
continuing to soar to new heights! The residents are another month into the
year and have gotten to do many fun activities and develop as future leaders.
Since the last blog post, residents of the LLC have started service learning as
part of the LLC class. Having a service learning component in the class has
given the residents a new perspective on education and helps many of them learn
about what their future career paths may look like. Being guided by RA Lauren
and the service learning component of the class has helped us achieve one of
the goals of the LLC, the residents are being active members of the Milwaukee
community by volunteering at schools and many community resources. As a part of
a class assignment, the residents were also required to interview a community
leader and write a paper about it. This assignment helps students learn more
about different leadership styles, how to apply them, and gives them a better
perspective on what they have learned in class.
The residents are looking forward to
celebrating Halloween with each other and their floors, through a floor
Halloween party hosted in their lounge. Through this, they will also get the
opportunity to sign up for the "Make A Difference Day" event hosted
by the Center for Community-Based Learning, Leadership, and Research. This event
will send volunteers across the Milwaukee community to help with neighborhood
clean ups! There is a lot for the residents to look forward to, whether it be
doing community service, or getting to know each other better through floor
events.
