Lasallian Teacher Immersion Program students

Current Lasallian Teacher Immersion Program students, including five SMU students, are on campus today, accompanied by program director Brother Pat Conway.

They will give a presentation to faculty and staff during lunch today, Friday, March 27. From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. go through the lunch line and indicate to the cashier that you are with the LTIP luncheon.

The Lasallian Teacher Immersion Program (LTIP) is designed to attract young men to a career teaching in the tradition of Saint John Baptist de La Salle.

LTIP students earn 16 SMU credits (6 Theology and 10 Education). Students live, study, and serve in four immersion sites: a homeless shelter in Kansas City, an inner-city elementary school in Memphis, a Miguel middle school in Minneapolis, and a St. Louis suburban secondary school.
