Testimonials

Denise Von Rinteln:
This was a wonderful learning experience in total not just from a business perspective but cultural too. I learned a tremendous amount about the country of Chile.

Stephanie Gnau:
The Study Tour was incredible.  Having the opportunity to experience a different country, in regards to its culture and its business conduct, was a learning experience that I may never get again in my career.  Additionally, getting a chance to bond with your graduate school peers was something that would have never happened (on this type of level) without the trip facilitating proximity and constant interaction.

Dan Flaherty:
The professors did an excellent job in setting this up and organizing the students while we were in Chile. The site visits were excellent and the people who helped us in Chile (ex-Alumni) were awesome.  This was the 4th study abroad I completed and by far the BEST!

Kate Manning:
Very good background classes and articles to provide framework for what to think about with Chilean history and culture.  Instructors were great complements to each other and helped make the class enjoyable.

Colleen McClellan:
Interacting with the alumni was most beneficial in making this trip amazing!  I felt I got a ton more out of it because of them and their help, tips and recommendations.  Prior research also made my life there much easier and more fulfilling.

Karen Sterling:
I thought that this course was a wonderful experience both in terms of hands on learning of international business and culture.  Everything was very well planned and coordinated. The agenda was very well balanced in terms of course responsibilities (site visits, reflection papers, retail assignment) and free time which is something I often don’t get when I travel abroad for work.  Thank you for the opportunity!!

Trista Plunkett:
The major strength was the preparation, company visits and layout of the course.  Nan and Gerard did a great job of planning and picking out the companies to visit, the students did a good job of researching the companies and environments and presenting the material to the class. And the layout of the course was perfect. I liked how we learned the different environments of Chile and then covered the companies/ industries.
