The LLT experience was a rare opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself, in which I was motivated to become a better person both at home and in my career. What I learned was that the larger community is easily accessible, and that I could utilize my skills and interests in a way that would allow me to participate and give back. –Nicole Lindwall, Class of ‘09
