| 23 Students and 2 professors departed for Costa Rica on Thursday, January 5
for three weeks of discovery. The educational purpose of the trip is to help
students step out of their familar surroundings and cultural blindness to open
their eyes to different ways of doing things. Some of the students have already
been outside the United States on mission and other cross-cultural trips. Some
have not. This gives the student an opportunity to experience a different culture
and to have the opportunity to evaluate their own in light of the differences. The
course includes intensive study of the society through lectures and readings, as
well an extended home-stay where students are paired off and spend a period of time
with a Costa Rican family. |
