Who should attend: All first-year Social Sciences and Humanities students on campus, whether or not you live in Studebaker West.
When and where: Wednesday, August 19, from 4:30–5:30 p.m. at Studebaker West Hall. Enter through the main Studebaker West entrance and follow signs or staff directions to the kickoff space.
Social Sciences spotlight: If you are studying psychology, sociology, criminal justice, criminology, legal studies, political science, or related fields, this kickoff is a chance to meet classmates who are asking big questions about people, systems, communities, justice, behavior, and change.
Humanities spotlight: If you are studying English, history, anthropology, philosophy, religious studies, modern languages, classical culture, or related fields, this kickoff is a chance to meet students who are exploring stories, cultures, languages, identities, ethics, and the ideas that shape how we understand the world.
You’ll meet your Academic Peer Mentors, for Social Sciences, Mae Powers, Taliyah Dean, and Humanities, Jaylynn Dodson. Connect with other first-year students across both communities and enjoy Frozen Boulder Dippin Dots while you learn how your LLC supports belonging, well-being, lifelong learning, and academic confidence.
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.
