Global Learning Living Community, 2013-14
The Global Learning Living Community is a unique upperclass community which brings together U.S. and international students to live and learn from one another’s unique perspectives. Members of the Global LLC are student leaders on campus for global education. Students live together at 225 Stonemill, part of Caldwell Apartments, in an environment which supports and nurtures students’ international and intercultural interests.
The Global LLC seeks to:
- develop intercultural competence and sensitivity among residents;
- educate residents for global citizenship; and
- help residents develop relationships with friends from different cultural backgrounds.
Interested students are encouraged to contact Tricia Barger at 9-4283 or tbarger@udayton.edu. An information session will be held on Wednesday, January 23 at 4 p.m. in Kennedy Union room 313.

Application Instructions
The Global LLC is considered Special Interest Housing at the University of Dayton. Students complete a three-step application process as part of Special Interest Housing/Global LLC Process:
- Each student must submit the Global LLC Application to Tricia Barger (Rike Center 203) by February 1, 2013.
- Complete the online 2013-14 Housing Application, at myhousing.udayton.edu. (Application opens January 21, 2013 and closes February 1, 2013).

All forms and applications listed above must be completed and submitted no later than February 1, 2013 at 4:30 p.m.
Please note the following:
- Students will only be able to participate in one lottery/process at a time. Students will need to determine which community they want to live in and participate in that lottery only.
- Careful thought should be given to the essay questions provided in the Global LLC Application Form. Decisions on acceptance to the Global LLC will be made based on these essays, in addition to GPA, discipline background and overall expressed interest and commitment to intercultural learning.
- Some students may be asked to interview as part of the application process, depending on demand and housing committee deliberations.
- All applicants will be notified no later than March 1, 2013. Thus, students who are not successful in obtaining a Global LLC apartment can still participate in the general student lottery process.
