Happy New Year and Welcome back to the Education and
Leadership LLC! Winter break is over and a new semester has begun. Residents
have been enjoying their first few days of classes.
Since we have only been back at school for a week, there has
not been much activity in the LLC yet, but plans are in motion for upcoming
events in the community. Unlike last semester, residents in the LLC do not have
a required course that corresponds with the LLC community. Because of this,
residents are excited about new ways to stay involved with their areas of study
and new opportunities that come along with that.
Some of the opportunities the residents of the Education and
Leadership LLC are looking forward to in the upcoming semester include building
relationships and gaining insight from upperclassmen in their majors and career
fields, as well as more connections with advisors in the School of Education.
Residents in the community have expressed interest in connecting with older
students in their specific majors to be able to get a sense of what is to come
in their area of study. This would also include connecting more with the School
of Education advisors and faculty to begin to build relationships. The
Education and Leadership LLC is hoping to also keep up the volunteering spirit
with a plethora of volunteering opportunities for the residents.
This upcoming semester, the Education and Leadership has
plans to visit the Milwaukee Public Museum in downtown Milwaukee. In years
past, the LLC has made trips to Chicago, but this year we are planning on
exploring the wonderful experiences in our own city. This will not only be a
way to get to know Milwaukee better, but also a way to familiarize ourselves with
different resources in the area that will benefit our future careers in
Education.
