Since 2005, LSA has proudly been providing scholarship funds to the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (formerly the Monterey Institute of International Studies, MIIS). The goal of MIIS is to prepare students from all over the world to make a meaningful impact in a rapidly changing global community. LSA is honored to have formed such a strong, lasting partnership with this esteemed institution. In fact, many of LSA’s talented linguist partners (and some employees) are MIIS graduates.
As the world becomes more and more globalized, the need for professional language services providers (like LSA) and international professional education institutions (like MIIS) will continue to rise. As LSA’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, Laura K.T. Schriver, has always said, “better understanding IS good business.” LSA looks forward to continue growing its relationship with the entire MIIS community.
