JLIC now has an online fan club through Facebook. The purpose of this group is for students, parents, alumni and friends of our program to keep in touch with JLIC, to stay updated about our successes and growth, and to show support.

We are excited to gather a list of people who are involved with and interested in JLIC and want to be updated about our program.
Join the club, write on our wall and participate in our discussion board!
