Brother Stephen Markham, FSC, director of Contacts for the Midwest District, has been assigned to serve as mentor and assistant resident director for students from Lasallian universities living at the Brothers’ Generalate in Rome. The students are enrolled in the Lasallian Universities Center for Education (LUCE) program, which allows them to spend a semester in Rome while earning a full semester of credits from their respective universities.
LUCE 2019 will take place February 1 – April 28. While in Rome, students take courses in the history, culture, art and architecture of Rome with particular attention to the Catholic intellectual tradition. In addition to being available to mentor and assist students, Brother Stephen will help organize extracurricular activities, including joining students and faculty on excursions to Scampi, Assisi and Milan and some class scheduled field trips.
