“Everyone truly wants you to succeed”

"The most valuable lesson I learned at LCC is that people are the most valuable asset in every organization and to care about each person I work or interact with. Having talked to many alumni, they always said that people are what create the real LCC experience, and now looking back, I couldn’t agree more. It is the amazing staff and faculty who share common values and help us grow not only as professionals but also as individuals, and it is the students who later become your second family. At LCC everyone truly wants you to succeed."

Making a Positive Impact in Kurdistan

2025-03-10

Heval Hassan Haider is making a difference in Kurdistan. Located in northern Iraq, Kurdistan has a complicated history, including foreign invasions and occupations.The Yazidi population have been under threat for centuries in Iraq. Most recently, in 2024, ISIL lead a brutal genocide of the Yazidi’s, forcing thousands of Yazidis from their land to Sinjar Mountain, raping women, terrorizing hundreds, and killing nearly 5000 Yazidi citizens.Heval teaches English in a primary school and a secondary school in a small Yazidi village. Heval earned a BA degree in English language and literature in 2010. He speaks Persian, Arabic, Turkish, and of course, English. Heval is employed as an English teacher in a public school in a village, where he teaches classes for secondary school pupils. In addition, Heval volunteers to teach English in a refugee camp for internally displaced Yazidi families. In the camp, he teaches fourteen groups of students each week. He receives no salary for this work.He applied to LCC’s MA TESOL program when he learned about it from LCC staff who were visiting his village in hopes to recruit students who were interested in a master’s program. He met Aiste Motekaitiene, who at the time was LCC’s Marketing Director. Heval took the TOEFL test and had an interview with Aiste. As an English teacher, Heval jumped at the chance to study at LCC International University. Heval arrived in Lithuania in July 2019 for the Summer Residency Session; it was his first time to visit Europe. Heval received a grant from LCC’s Middle East Scholar’s program. After the in-person summer session, Heval returned to Iraq to continue studying. As you can imagine, life in northern Iraq, was not easy. At times, the electricity would be unstable, or his work was overwhelming. But he persisted. Heval graduated from LCC in 2022. His thesis was titled “Motivational factors of Yazidi youth to learn English.” Currently, Heval continues to attend professional development courses. Recently he attended a seminar for teachers where he shared his experience at LCC. Heval writes, “Last summer, I took part in a teacher training course that was organized by the local government in Iraq. During our sessions, we discussed many educational problems in state schools, especially English language teaching problems and learners' inability to speak the language. As I reflected on the problems from different perspectives, many of the attendees were impressed by the ideas I was sharing and wanted to know where I had obtained my master's degree. I provided them with full information about LCC International University.” Heval adds, “If it weren't for LCC, I wouldn’t have gained such wonderful hands-on practical teaching experience. Thank you very much to all the faculty. I am determined to complete my doctorate, and I am looking for an opportunity now!”Author: Robin Gingerich, Ph.D., MA TESOL Program Director at LCC International University.

Education as Empathy

2025-03-10

LCC International University is committed to offering a safe space for students to study, to earn their degrees, and to participate in community. As a Christian university, LCC’s mission and vision align with Jesus’ teachings about a just world for all people, including marginalized university aged students. In 2016, LCC’s board of directors launched the Middle East Scholars program offering students from the Middle East, particularly war-affected students, financial and person assistance to begin or continue their university education at LCC. Students from Syria, Afghanistan, or Iraq have often had interrupted university experiences due to upheavals, war, or economic hardships.“High-potential candidates whose opportunity for study has been disrupted by war and violence are identified as LCC works in partnership with UNHCR, NGOs, and various humanitarian organizations. LCC‘s Middle East Scholars program has been applauded by UNHCR” (LCC Website, March 2025).Recently, Dr. Marlene Wall, President of LCC, partnered with Olga Dietlin and Esther Pruitt, two professors at Wheaton College to author an academic article about how institutions, including LCC, welcome refugee students to campus and provide a quality, caring environment for them to thrive. Read the full article for a deeper perspective of the history and current accommodations for war-affected university students globally.Title: Education as empathy: Creating welcoming spaces for students from refugee backgrounds in higher education.Abstract: This article explores the response of higher education to the global refugee crisis, highlighting the notably low 6% enrollment rate for individuals with refugee backgrounds. We discuss the struggles of refugee students and trace the evolving support efforts by humanitarian and educational organizations. Recognizing the daunting task of identifying actionable steps in the face of extensive displacement, we introduce LCC International University in Europe as a model of effective engagement. We conclude that while policy frameworks are foundational, the real transformation within higher education stems from the actions of individuals, emphasizing the role of compassion in rehumanizing education.Full citation:Dietlin, O., Pruitt, E., & Wall, M.
