May 24-31, 2025: Faculty/Staff Immersion in Guatemala

Join the Center for Mission and Identity as we explore indigenous identity and rights, colonialism and post-colonialism, spirituality and justice in the Guatemalan context. Over the course of a week, participants will learn about the history and current realities of this region and consider them in light of our own context in the United States and at LMU. They will also deepen their understanding of LMU’s mission and how their own work, including teaching, scholarship, service, and leadership, can contribute to building a more just and reconciled world.

All full-time, regular faculty are invited and encouraged to apply. Program costs for accepted participants are fully sponsored by the Center for Mission and Identity (including all meals and single accommodations, programming, and comprehensive facilitation and assistance). Applications due by December 13, 2024. Learn more and apply on the Center for Mission and Identity website.
