Dear Friends,
I am the Interim Vice President for Educational Programs for the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, and I wanted to let you know that we have some openings in the Latin American Studies Program for Spring 2019. Located in San Jose, Costa Rica, the LASP offers full language immersion through intensive language classes, home stays, regional travel, and language-based service projects. Drawing together students from across the CCCU in a faith-based study of Latin America, the program offers a semester-long exposure that will be life-changing for your students. The total cost, including tuition, is $13,200, and student who have registered can submit a fee reduction request based on financial need. If you know any students who would be just right for this, please either suggest that they apply or send us their names. Thank you so much for all your hard work you do in teaching languages.
Carolyn
