Celebrating 20 Years of
Living & Learning

Reflecting On 20 Years

When L&LI began, we didn’t know what it would look like in twenty years, but we knew the Lord wanted to move in the lives of college students. Now, we have the privilege of seeing hundreds of alumni stories unfold.

As we reflect on 20 Years of Global Education, we hope each person knows how grateful we are to have them be a part of Living & Learning. Each person’s story is woven into those two decades of our programs around the world, and we wouldn't be the organization without them.
