This past January a group of students and faculty embarked on a ten day journey to one of the world's most underrated destinations to unmask an old Cold War rival for what it really is: a stunningly beautiful and multi-ethnic Caribbean island, teeming with culture, history, and a robust national healthcare system. On this program, students had a chance to ride in vintage cars, visit a local tobacco farm, and participate in salsa lessons, all while delving into US-Cuba relations and the state of Cuba today. We were so excited to offer this rare opportunity for our students to explore this oft-misunderstood nation for the first time this academic year!
Qualifying freshman, sophomore, and transfer students can use their SPARK Grant for this short-term study abroad program.
