March 18 - Students from Business, Communication and Religion spent their
spring break on a trip to England and France.

Led by Ms. Nancy Mount and Dr. Robert Wallace, this study abroad program complimented the International Marketing and Global Studies courses taught in Spring ‘09. Course credit was offered in conjunction with International Business or Advertising.

Students not only saw the sights of London, but also received instruction
at Regent’s College, visited the London financial district, and had an opportunity to interact
with local business leaders. The trip also included day trips to Dover and Paris, France.
