Calling all LSI alumni...

if you were a participant in a previous LSI program and later successfully completed a service learning project at your school, please message me! I'm looking for short descriptions of service projects that were completed as well as any general thoughts of how participating in LSI influenced you, your school or community! Thanks much and sending warm regards to all of you. Be well and be safe!
