The People's Institute (Application Deadline Extended)
Sponsored by the Student Leadership Development and Student Diversity and Multicultural Affairs departments and hosted from March 16-18, 2012 at LUREC. The TPI aims to empower students to explore and reflect upon the interconnection between leadership and social justice. In the spirit of Jesuit education, The People’s Institute (TPI) is an exciting leadership opportunity for students at Loyola University Chicago. This program is designed to raise awareness, examine privilege and responsibility, and learn skills to create positive social change. TPI will include interactive sessions, large and small group dialogue, and exercises to develop intergroup relations, understanding of social justice and diversity, and leadership development. TPI is centered on self-identity exploration. Students had requested additional time to submit applications so we have extended the application process. Applications are due Friday February 24th by 5:00pm. More information and the online application form can be found by clicking here.
