The Latino Community Leadership Seminar (LCLS) invites 40 outstanding Latino high school students entering their senior year to participate in an exciting new seminar at the University of Notre Dame. The week consists of stimulating presentations, in-depth discussions, and enriching experiences in which students explore the role of Latinos in US society and examine new avenues for effective Latino leadership. Additionally, students will build on their own strong commitment to community service as they learn more about Latino values and the Catholic social tradition.

Students must submit an online application (precollege.nd.edu) by February 15, 2008. Enrollment in this one-week program is limited to 40 academically superior students (20 men and 20 women) and early application is advised. Criteria for selection will include the student’s academic and standardized testing record, demonstrated leadership abilities and other extracurricular activities, personal essay, and letter of recommendation.
