Two weeks ago, Friday, April 24th, The Shriver Center's Community Engagement Team hosted an evening event for our Shriver Living Learning Community (LLC) to honor our Shriver LLC student leadership, outgoing 12th cohort and incoming 13th. Over the course of the year, they have lived, learned, and served together on and off campus. Highlights of the year include taking UNIV 101 together, playing Monster Mini-golf, making jewelry, communal baking, Cultural Night celebrations, visiting Washington DC, watching the superbowl/Bad Bunny Concert, creating podcasts about The Sargent and Eunice Kennedy Shriver Family history and legacy, creating reflective Digital Stories, and interviewing the 27th cohort The LLC.
Many operations and logistics went into the behind the scenes planning. We appreciate Keynote Speakers Dr. Ken Baron, Assistant Vice Provost for Academic Advising and Student Success, Office for Academic and Pre-Professional Advising highlighting student success tips for every year in college and Dr. Joby Taylor, Assistant Vice Provost and Shriver Center co-leader, sharing the importance of reflective practice and our connection to Sargent Shriver's legacy as we move through experiential learning.

Wrapping up its 26th year, The Shriver LLC proves to continue to be a mentoring- focused, supportive environment for transitioning into college and professional relationships. This week, rising Peer Mentors and Staff have been earnestly interviewing high school seniors for (the 27th) our next cohort of Shriver LLC members who will move onto the floor in August 2026.
