During my first year I plan on reading academic journals related to living learning community such as The Journal of College and University Housing, as well as subscribe to the Chronicle of Higher education with alerts regarding learning communities. To expand my knowledge of living learning communities I also hope to obtain a position as a graduate hall director.  Receiving a position as a graduate hall direction in a residence hall that has a living learning community would be preferable.  Lastly, I plan to speak with individuals who are in charge of living learning communities on the University of Toledo campus.  During my second year, to gain more knowledge about learning communities and working in a learning community, I will attend conferences such as ACUHO-I or GLACUHO, and focus my attention on sessions about living learning communities.  If I did not receive a graduate hall direction position in a building with a living learning community, I will seek ways to get involved in other living learning communities around campus.  Lastly, I will speak with individuals who have helped create a living learning community on campus.  In my third year, I will work to start creating my own living learning community on the University of Toledo campus.  I hope to create a living learning community that is dedicated to mental and physical health; an idea that coincides with my interests in counseling.
