Summer Planning

The facilitators of International Education are reviewing options and opportunities for the 2012-2013 academic year. At the end of September and early October, we will seek host families to welcome our German guests for a week to 10 days or so. We are also looking to possibly expand some travel opportunities for students this year--more on those possibilities at a later date. If we are successful in our endeavor, students may have an additional travel opportunity for the 2013-2014 academic year. The WTCS colleges are also signing on a new agreement with the technical college system in Ireland to open exchange programs with their colleges. Similar to our German exchange, the goal with the Irish exchange is to send students to campuses in Ireland and learn about their educational, commerce and technical systems while we host an Irish coalition during another time of the year. Otherwise, we are planning for Germany for May 2013, with a possible London trip for March 2013. Watch for the updates related to the international travel and exchange opportunities for students with Moraine Park!

  1. Summer would be worthwhile for the students if they are going to spend it on a educational travel.
