How is Student Leadership Academy - Summer Sessions different than SLA - Fall?
If you enjoyed SLA in the fall, you will thrive in our summer program. Besides being much longer, SLA - Summer Session goes deeper into the theological questions of vocation, and involves personal evaluations. Our summer programs includes activities (on and off campus), service opportunities, and exposes you to community life on campus.
