Recently, the expansion committee has announced that the LTI curriculum is currently being translated into Spanish (in preparation for the intensive two-week trip to Brazil in January 2010), and a new chapter of the LTI program will soon be established at UMASS Amherst. While it may be surpassing that in its third year the LTI program has managed to spread into other college campuses and high schools in different countries, these results aren't that surprising to me because I realize how unique the LTI program is. While LTI isn't the oldest mentoring program at MIT, LTI is the first program to focus on helping already successful high school students become better leaders by providing these students with the tools that they will need to make an immediate impact in their communities. Additionally, another factor that makes LTI so unique is the dedication found within its staff. It is this focus and dedication from every member of the LTI community that has created an environment that has not only inspired our students to make a difference, but has also inspired other campus and high schools to start an LTI program of their own.
Your Public Relations Chair,
