The Border Studies Seminar, open only to Loyola High School students, will be a three-week summer immersion program that will provide a comprehensive introductory overview of the complex social, theological, political, and legal discourses surrounding migration, immigration and the U.S./Mexican border region.  The three-week summer immersion program will offer a unique opportunity to learn from practitioners in the fields of community engagement and advocacy, immigration law, and the Catholic Church’s response to the local Los Angeles immigrant community.  In addition to the seminars, students will engage in local community service with organizations/parishes with service and outreach programs for existing immigrant communities.  The two-week academic seminar culminates with an immersion experience on the U.S./Mexico Border at the Kino Border Initiative.

The seminars will consist of three modules plus a research project and service component (embedded throughout the three modules).  All modules will take place on the campus of Loyola High School beginning on July 24th to August 5th.  Courses will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Monday-Thursday with a Friday four-hour community service experience. The immersion experience on the U.S./Mexico Border at the Kino Border Initiative will begin on August 7th to August 11th.

Each of us has the capacity to be purposeful, values-driven, and impactful leaders in our families, schools, and communities. Hands-on exercises, game play, and simulations coupled with engaging presentations, everyday leader spotlights/profiles and small group exercises/roleplaying activities will provide the foundation and springboard for each student to discover their “Leader Within” and take the first steps in “Designing Their Leadership Life and Path” through high school, college, and beyond. This fast-paced and energizing class will strengthen leadership qualities/characteristics including self-awareness, innovation/creativity, resilience, being men for others, heroism/courage, and stewardship/servant leadership.
