Health Professions and Nursing Living-Learning Community Kickoff

Nursing and Health Professions students, start strong with your health-focused community. Your Living-Learning Community Kickoff is your first required Living-Learning Community event during Weeks of Welcome and is designed to help you meet classmates who are preparing to care for people, support wellness, and make an impact in health-related fields. 
 
Who should attend: All first-year Nursing and Health Professions students on campus, whether or not you live in Woodworth. 
 
When and where: Wednesday, August 19, from 4:30–5:30 p.m. outside Woodworth Hall. Use Woodworth Complex off Riverside Ave. for navigation and follow signs or staff directions to the outdoor setup. 
 
Nursing spotlight: If you are studying nursing or pre-nursing, this kickoff is a chance to meet other students beginning the same high-impact path toward patient care, clinical learning, teamwork, resilience, and professional growth. 
 
Health Professions spotlight: If you are studying public health, radiography, respiratory therapy, speech pathology and audiology, dietetics, social work, or another health-related field, this kickoff is a chance to connect with students who are focused on prevention, communication, rehabilitation, nutrition, community care, and helping people live healthier lives. 
 
You’ll meet your Health Professions Academic Peer Mentor, Dhanya Pathangi, and your Nursing Academic Peer Mentors, Mariana Villagomez and Aaron Hatton. You’ll also connect with other first-year students across both communities and enjoy Kona Ice while learning how your LLC can support belonging, well-being, lifelong learning, and academic success. 
 
LLC T-Shirt note: This event is the only time this year that you can claim your Living-Learning Community T-Shirt. You’ll scan a QR code at the kickoff to choose your shirt design and size, and APMs will begin delivering shirts during the first week of classes.
