CILSA's Summer Fellowship Programs are designed to allow current Saint Mary's students the opportunity to live, learn, and serve in the example of Saint John Baptist de La Salle.

CILSA will be hosting its annual awards dinner on Monday Feb 18th at 6:00 pm in Hagerty Lounge.  Each year, CILSA recognizes a student leader, faculty member, SMC staff member, and a community partner for their commitment to community engagement and social justice.  The Outstanding Student Leader Award will be presented to Kaitlyn Anderson.  Dr. Saroja Subrahmanyan from the Department of Marketing in the School of Economics and Business Administration is receiving the Engaged Faculty Award.  Gail Garrett from I.T.

Jason Connell is a 26-year old world traveler who has volunteered in some of the world’s poorest regions. Changing the World 101 paints an authentic, compelling and stirringly personal portrait of human life around the world beyond the “typical” American experience.  Through Jason’s brilliant, engaging and personable style, audiences clearly envision this reality outside their borders; and more vitally, they feel the truth of it in their heart.

Join us for this event designed specifically and only for CILSA's community partners.

The focus and content of this partners-only gathering---no faculty or students will be present, as our academic year will already have come to a close---will be shaped by partner interests and needs.

Please save the date and respond to our online community partner survey, which will be sent out in May of 2013.
