Study of the
United States Institutes for Student Leaders

At St. Bonaventure University

In July and August St. Bonaventure University, through the State Department Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs via a subgrant from ITD-Amherst, will host 20 students from Latin America as part of the Institute for Training and Development's Western Hemisphere Institutes program.  This is not the official site for the ITD program.  You will find that here.  This web site is designed to serve as a clearing house for participants in the SBU project and is under construction.  We will be making use of Moodle for course management.  Once you have arrived we will give you log in information.  We'll be adding materials a,s they become available so be sure to check both web sites.
