Winter quarter ended this week – a very busy term for Tuckies in general, with a number of conferences, the winter carnival, the trip to Montreal, skiing, numerous visiting executive sessions, and of course, academics and the concomitant exams, projects, presentations, papers, assignments etc.
All that is history now, and students are off to far flung corners of the world to relax, rejuvenate, and explore different things in the next couple of weeks. The Center for International Business is organizing a couple of “Learning Expeditions” to Brazil and South Africa. The trips will give Tuckies an opportunity to interact with alumni in these two countries, meet with corporate and political leaders there, and get a first-hand experience of local cultures.
There’s another large contingent of Tuckies (65 students in all!) heading to Japan as part of a student-organized trek. A trek to Silicon Valley is also taking place and students will be visiting tech companies and venture capital firms during that trip. There is a one-week exchange program with IE Business School in Madrid that a few students are joining. Still smaller groups of students are traveling to Italy, UK, Australia, India, Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore, and other countries in the Far East.
With so much going on, the spring break will be as busy as was the winter quarter probably, but just the opportunity to get away from Hanover and explore the wide world is something that offers invaluable life lessons. Safe travels everyone – look forward to catching up and sharing experiences when we all get back in a couple of weeks. Enjoy!
