Global LLC

About Global LLC 

The Global Living-Learning Community connects students closely with faculty and staff, challenging students to critically examine their experiences through a global lens and gain an understanding of cultures and perspectives other than their own. Global LLC will accomplish this by connecting students with Loyola and the greater Chicago community through an international lens, using conversations, art, reflection, and exploration. 

Global LCC is affiliated with Office of Global and Community Engagement and Department of Residence Life. This community is open to all first-year residential students who have an interest in global society and perspectives. Global LLC is open to students of all majors.
