cational and social needs of the community, bringing LIT students closer together with the commu-nity to promote local culture and helping to create an all inclusive spirit within the community.

elements in the success of inter-national businesses. LIT Global partnerships offer students an opportunity to gain this useful knowledge and cross cultural ex-perience to enhance their career in the world market.

and cross cultural experi-ence to enhance their ca-

reer in the world market place.

Through achieving our mission, we aim to benefit:

fessional, intellectual and social development to maximize their potential.
