Welcome to Health Professions!


Hello! The Health Professions LLC started off strong this fall. Last month we had our LLC Kickoff event which included a recourse scavenger hunt followed by sand volleyball and smores! Everyone got into teams which will be used all throughout the semester for our house cup challenge. The teams went all around campus and took pictures of the locations they needed to find and posted them on our Facebook page so we could keep track of the points. We had a ton of people show up and participate. This event went on for 2 and a half hours because everyone was having so much fun! It was a great way for all of the LLC residents to get to know each other better and also the LLC stakeholders and peer mentors showed up giving everyone an amazing opportunity to meet all of the energetic and fun people involved in the LLC!  Below are some pictures that were taken throughout the event!

Like I mentioned before, the teams used in our scavenger hunt are also the ones that we are using for our house cup challenge. Our house cup challenge will go throughout the rest of the semester and students will have the opportunity to earn points by doing well in school, going to events and much more. At the end of semester, we will tally up the points and the team with the most points will have dinner with the deans of the college of nursing and college of health sciences!
This month we also had some fun in flicks! Our residents wanted to go watch Baywatch in Flicks so we all dressed up in beach attire and headed down to enjoy the movie. We also had a dress up competition and who ever had the best beach outfit got a prize!


Beach Babes!

Next month we have the opportunity to tour the Blood Center of Wisconsin and get to see all of the variety of health care careers in a setting that not a lot of people are familiar with.
With all the fun and success we had this month, I can't wait to see what the rest of the semester has in store!

Homecoming Banner Competition

UWM celebrated homecoming a few weeks ago and the LLCs had some fun creating spirit banners for the event!  Each LLC was given a banner to decorate that had to include the homecoming theme: "Let the Good Times Roar!"  Once the banners were complete, a group of judges visited each LLC to select the banners that were the best of the best.  Thank you to all the LLCs who participated, there are definitely some creative panthers out there. The competition was fierce, but we are proud to show this year's winners!

GRAND PRIZE: Career Quest LLC


MOST REPRESENTATIVE OF LLC: Architecture 1 LLC


MOST CREATIVE: Performing Arts LLC



 MOST SCHOOL SPIRITED: Transfer LLC

Welcome 2017-2018!




Welcome! 

We are so excited for you to visit our UWM Living Learning Community Blog for 2017-2018! 


Feel free to check out old posts - we go back a few years so you can see some of the great things we do if you are in an LLC!

We are about 7 weeks into the semester, so we will start to have new blogs posted weekly from different communities that showcase what has happened so far this semester.

One thing to note, over the next few weeks we will be doing some website updates. If things look weird during that time, bear with us while we make improvements!

If you have any questions specifically about LLCs, reach out to UWMLLC@uwm.edu, or ask about us on your next campus tour!

Panther Pride!
