ELLC HOCO Tournament
Work hard, play hard. During homecoming week, ELLC created their own tournament of challenges. Great way to connect, build friendships and have fun.
Box Fort
Move-in day results in A LOT of cardboard. Being engineers, the Engineering Leadership Learning Community students put it to good use. Students pick a day to build their very own box fort in the lounge equipped with their own homey touches. This is becoming an ELLC tradition.
Community Art
Nothing says home better than putting up your own artwork. The ELLC students put their creative skills to the test and designed a mural for their community that is as unique as they are.
