LTI Expansion

LTI members Dave Zou, Taylor Jay, and Jia Zhu returned at the end of August from the CDI-LTI's Service Leadership Program. After implementing a modified version of the LTI curriculum in Shenzhen, China, the mentors are excited to aid and support the students' own service project with a local elementary school in the Shenzhen area. Blogs detailing the program, traveling adventures, and final reflections are posted at mitlti.blogspot.com.
