MSOE develops new Living Learning Community for freshman nursing students
Milwaukee School of Engineering is establishing a new Nursing Living Learning Community (LLC).
The first cohort of freshman nursing students who choose to participate in the Nursing LLC will move into the Grohmann Tower in Fall 2023. Nursing LLC members will collaborate with both the School of Nursing and Residence Life to engage in academic support and enjoy programs for building community.
“The Nursing LLC will truly be a community of like-minded individuals,” said Dr. Carol Sabel RN, professor and chair of the MSOE School of Nursing. “Beyond living and learning together, students will have opportunities throughout to year to get to know one another, explore their future profession and have fun!”
Some of the benefits of this LLC include an early move-in date and retreat with professional staff at the beginning of the school year. Students will have regular access to a nursing faculty advisor and residence life staff for tutoring, weekly study nights and access to study materials right in the Grohmann Tower. They’ll also enjoy social outings, professional development and volunteer opportunities. In alignment with MSOE’s strong tradition of applied education, the floor will host a live-in, young professional who will assist students in navigating through nursing course work and professional skillsets.
Students who have participated in an LLC have demonstrated an increase in academic success, higher GPA and a greater sense of belonging. The Nursing LLC will be in the Grohmann Tower, MSOE’s apartment-style residence hall. Learn more…
