Germany -
January 2009
In
January 4-17, 2009, the 14th Global Winter
Term Program was held in conjunction with our partner
the Technical University of Berlin. Thirty-one students
were accompanied by three faculty members (Profs.
Dombrowski, Hoffman, and Holloway). The 2009
program had a couple of firsts: accounting students
outnumbered business students, 19-12; an alumna of the
program joined as a faculty member, Prof. Susanne
Holloway participated in Rennes program in 2001 as a
student; and we also held SU’s first international
alumni reunion abroad.
Students
in our global programs take a 3 credit course taught by
SU faculty; these are supplemented by guest lecturers
from our host school and field trips to local businesses
and to historic sites. The winter term program has been
held in five different countries (Britain, Chile,
France, Germany, and Ireland).
Overall,
students highly praised the program.

Samples of students’ comments
from past Study Abroad:
"Everything went very smoothly. All of the tours really helped broaden my ideas about
Germany/London. The SU staff was very helpful and very understanding when having to put up
with us. Being in another country when learning about international business really does
help understand the concept of having to adapt the business structure to relate to other
cultures."
"I had the best time of my life. I have done the study abroad trips before and this trip
by far was the most amazing memory of my life. The food was great and having a German
student helping throughout the trip was most helpful. Give Felix an “A”."
"I loved everything about the trip!"
"I loved almost everything. The professors were great and very helpful."
"I thought British Airways did an EXCELLENT job and would suggest everyone keep a close
eye on their passport on buses and terminals. And Dr. Hoffman did an excellent job with
every aspect of the trip."
"All of the group dinners were a great way to reconnect with our classmates. Since we
were all sightseeing and different times, it was great to see everyone again." |
