European Excursions
Visiting another country first-hand, you can taste, smell, touch and see
what’s unique about the culture and cuisine. The optional European
Excursion immerses you for a week in local flavor, with local and regional
experts as your guides. Past trips have gone to Tuscany and Vienna. Students will tour the sites and enjoy the tastes of Paris in March 2007.

preparation of a famous Viennese pastry
- Explored the outdoor produce
markets in Tuscany for local specialties

- Toured Vienna and
heard the Vienna Orchestra in concert.
