International Association of La Salle Universities (IALU) Student Leadership Program: The International Association of La Salle Universities (IALU) Leadership and Global Understanding Summer Program is for student leaders to:
-
enhance their global perspective in order to better understand the perceptions of a global society;
-
tackle issues of integral ecology (socio-environmental issues) which are fundamental to the Lasallian network;
-
to further develop Lasallian identity among students. In addition, we hope participants will build their leadership skills in a Lasallian context to then return to La Salle to ignite and sustain the Lasallian community into the future.
Participants will benefit from interacting with several instructors, speakers, and experiences designed to assist them into shaping their leadership skills.
The IALU Student Leadership and Global Understanding Program will be held at Lewis University (outside of Chicago, IL), July 7–20, 2024. If you are interested, please complete the application by April 15, 2024.
