An update on LTI

Hey everyone!

Recently, the LTI community has gone through some amazing changes to help start this year off incredibly strong. For starters the fall recruitment process recently ended, and as a result we were able to add some outstanding individuals to our executive board, mentors, and associate mentors. Additionally, last week LTI had its annual retreat at Cap Cod. In addition to serving as a way for new members to get better aquatinted with older members and form stronger bonds within the LTI community, this retreat also served as a great way for all of our members to get together and brainstorm new ideas for making this year's LTI the best year so far. Some of the ideas mentioned included different ways to: raise funds, recruit new students, and increase LTI's presence both here at MIT and on other campuses.

While LTI is currently in the phase of recruiting students by mailing out applications and brochures to prospective high school students, the mentors have decided to use this down time as a chance to get ready for the new LTI curriculum and to train new mentors. Every Sunday, mentors will be spending the afternoon developing different activities and themes that will help make LTI an even stronger program. Just like President Obama's confidence in the hard work of the American people to overcome this nation’s many obstacles, I too am confident in the efforts of the LTI community to achieve its goal of making this year the best year ever for LTI.

Your Public Relations Chair,
