Program provider Arcadia Abroad will be tabling on campus, providing information and answering questions about their Northern Ireland – Conflict, Peace, and Transition and Oxford programs. They will be tabling outside the Commons.
In the Northern Ireland program, students examine the work of justice, reconciliation, and repair through the lens of the Northern Ireland conflict. While living in Derry-Londonderry, students will take classes and participate in a seven-week-long internship.
If student teaching will be in your future, consider the Chicago Center’s Urban Student Teaching Program. With this program, students will complete their student teaching practicum and seminar in the culturally diverse urban Chicago environment. Placements are made in both public and private central-city Chicago schools. To learn more, stop outside the Commons in Warch to talk to a Chicago Center representative.
Join us for the Winter Term All-Staff Meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 27, from 10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the Warch Campus Center Pusey Room!
Updates will be shared by faculty and staff from across campus. There will also be time at the end to ask questions.

Yes, you can register your bikes too!
Having a registration of your bicycle makes it easier to track if it is ever stolen and recovered. It also helps identify your bikes as part of the LU Community.
Feel free to register your bicycle through Voyager, and a sticker will be sent to you via campus mail.
