The second study tour is set to travel to South Korea and China from March 14-22, 2009. The participants include some of the best students from the College of Business Administration at Alabama State University. They include Walter Carter, Eric McKenney, Brandon Darrington, Robert Means, Bryan Vann, Kiya Powell-Stephens, and Cynthia Goldsmith. This year has more gentlemen than ladies but they will have an amazing time. In Korea, they will visit many of the sites that we experienced last year and they have no idea the impact this trip will have on them for years to come. I have really enjoyed sharing my experience with them and trying to get them excited about the trip. They will depart in the wee hours of the morning on March 14 and arrive in Seoul, South Korea the evening of the 15th. They will explore the culture, history and will visit several businesses in Seoul and then on March 19th, they will travel to Shanghai, China where they will stay at the Fudan University. I hope when they return they will share China with me.
The faculty and staff that are escorting the students include our beloved dean of the College of Business, Dr. Percy J. Vaughn, Dr. Kamal Hingorani , the person that has made these opportunities available for the student by writing and being awarded the prestigious Business and International Education Grant that is offered by the United States Department of Education. Dr. Tammy Prater, Walter Montgomery, Nasrin Danesh, and Kim Smith are the other instructors of COBA that were selected. Kenneth Darrington, the colleges computer whiz and father of Brandon Darrington was selected to travel as well. Dr Hingorani' wife Sudha will also travel again this year with her husband. She was such a joy last year, we all enjoyed the knowledge and stories she shared with us and the student are blessed to have her traveling with them again this year.
