Elon has a strong Learning Community program in which groups of students with a common academic major, program or interest reside in the same residential area and interact academically and socially with each other and with their faculty advisers.

The Sustainable Living Learning Community brings together students from any major who are interested in learning how to personally live in a manner that supports ecologically, socially and economically healthy environments and communities.

Members of the SLLC will:

  • Explore sustainability at Elon and in the local community through on and off-campus experiences.
  • Learn what it means to live sustainably and share their own experiences of trying to live more sustainably.

Off-campus experiences may include a trip to: a local farm, recycling facility, a local lake to participate in a clean-up, the landfill, or a hike in a nearby park, etc. On-campus experiences may include sustainable crafting with the Maker Hub, participating in Office of Sustainability events and more!

SLLC members reside in Colonnades, Kivette.

“The Sustainability LLC lets students explore their love for the planet and find ways to incorporate sustainability into their own lives.  It’s been a great way to stay involved with campus sustainability while getting to know like-minded people!  Its a perfect, low-pressure balance of accountability and fun!” – Talya Schube ’29
