What students have said about previous trips:
"Summer 2004 proved to be a most exciting adventure. Through scholarships and financial aid, I was able to initiate my desires to research globalization/development issues in Asia. Additionally, I gained credit towards my degree, made incredible business contacts and witnessed the wealth of cultural nuances seen throughout India. From visiting Ernst & Young offices in Mumbai to bartering for goods in the streets, my Indian experience presented an eclectic mix of business, culture, and landscape. In fact, the wealth of opportunities offered has ensured my intentions of returning for the Summer 2006 trip." Paul Watson
