The Daily Bruin

LCC International University in Lithuania is introducing a new summer program called Baltic Serve and Study, a five-week program that will include four weeks of classes on LCC’s campus and one week of travel to Estonia, Latvia and Finland.

This is a great opportunity for students who might find it more difficult to spend an entire semester away from campus.

LCC is hosting virtual information sessions for both students and partner associates to introduce this program. At these sessions you can hear about the travel itinerary, courses, program details, and application process. We would love to have you attend one of them on Wednesday, Nov. 29, at 9 a.m. or Thursday, Nov. 30, at noon.

To get more information on how to take part in a session, email Cassidy Miller at cmiller@lcc.It.

Please consider bringing your grocery bags to the Bruin Community Pantry. You can drop them off at the food bank in Roberts 109 at your convenience. The space is open as long as Roberts is open.

Thank you!
