Welcome to Honors 1!

The Honors 1 Living Learning Community is an engaging space where first year UWM Honors College students live, learn, and socialize with one another outside of the classroom setting. This LLC was acknowledged as the 2016-2017 LLC of the year at UWM for its residents being highly engaged on campus and for it being one of the most social communities on campus. Events that are planned in correlation with the Honors College are meant to immerse LLC residents with unique campus resources and the City of Milwaukee. Opportunities that are presented to residents living in the Honors 1 LLC may only be found through living in the LLC. The month of September was met with LLC residents settling into their classes and making new friends by attending different campus events.

The Honors College courses that various LLC residents are enrolled in this semester are “Telling Tales,” “The Rise and Fall of Human Rights,” and “Writing Milwaukee,” to name a few. Honors College courses offer the opportunity for students to expand their knowledge in very unique and interesting topics while developing their writing and discussion skills. These classes are even more impactful for Honors 1 LLC residents though because classmates are also living amongst one another and the discussions carry outside of the classrooms.

The month of September was also meant to make residents feel comfortable on campus and to make connections. Residents in the LLC attended events such as a Pool Party held at the Klotsche Center, the annual Honors College Pizza Party, and the inaugural Un”Bowl”ievable LLC Party at the UWM Union Recreation Center. Numerous Honors 1 residents will be running together on the Honors College Panther Prowl team on Saturday, October 7. Also, the LLC will be attending a show at the UWM Planetarium titled “Moons and Myths.”


The Honors 1 LLC offers first year students the opportunity to make quick connections on the campus of UWM. The students that makeup the LLC are goal-oriented individuals that are looking to be leaders in the world and on campus at UWM. These are the reasons this LLC continues to be social, inviting, and productive on campus.
