Second Year Living Community (2YLC)

What is the Second Year Living Community?

Research suggests that second-year students are likely to be more successful socially and academically when they are more active in the campus community. The 2YLC program helps residents develop community and build relationships with peers by encouraging them to engage in programs, events, and experiences that are specifically targeted to their goals.

For the 2025-2026 academic year, 2YLC will be housed within the entirety of Lauterbur Hall.

Program Overview and Requirements

Participants of 2YLC are required to complete various scheduled assignments.

Participants of 2YLC are required to go to a set number of events over the course of each semester. 

These events will focus on the following domains:  

    • Academic  & Career Success
    • Wellness
    • Civic Engagement
    • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
