The staff of INTO Saint Louis University, a joint venture between SLU and INTO, is moving to the new space in suite 110 of Beracha Hall. English as a Second Language instructors will join INTO SLU staff in Beracha Hall on Tuesday, Aug. 2.
INTO SLU provides English language classes and undergraduate and graduate Pathway programs for international students. These programs support students with additional English language and academic preparation before continuing to a degree program at SLU.
All of the INTO SLU team will be housed at Beracha Hall, including faculty and staff, providing a comprehensive approach to supporting international student success both in and out of the classroom.
"The center is an innovative space that enhances the student experience by bringing together our students, faculty and staff in a collaborative and supportive learning environment," said Tim Hercules, J.D., executive director INTO SLU. "We are excited to have a space that supports the students academically and socially while integrating them into the SLU community. This fall we are honored to welcome more than 100 students to the center."
From classes and advising to enrollment and payments, the INTO SLU Center in Beracha Hall will be an integrated experience for students in INTO SLU programs as well as for campus partners working with students in INTO SLU programs.
The newly renovated space offers seven classrooms boasting new technology, a student lounge and the English Language Center (ELC), which provides writing support services to non-native speakers of English.
INTO SLU will host an open house after the start of the fall semester. Details will be announced closer to the event.
