On May 7, ten undergraduate students and 2 faculty members from Widener University will depart for China to participate in Chongqing Technology and Business University's Academic and Culture Exchange program. This year will mark the 7th year of our participation in the CTBU program. Over 80 Widener undergraduate students have had the opportunity to visit China for 3 1/2 weeks as part of their participation in the program.
This year's participating students are:
Jeremy Cavanaugh -- International Business
Bianca Chang -- Nursing
Devangi Chudasama -- Computer Information Systems
Megan Downey -- Sociology
Kerrilyn Lehman -- Nursing
Tyler Palma -- Mechanical Engineering
Casey Quinn -- Biology/Pre-Physical Therapy
Kennedy Ross -- Psychology
Janelle Rouse -- Psychology
Keon Ward -- History
The group will be assisted by faculty trip leaders -- Dr. Zhongping Huang (Engineering) and Dr. Pat Dyer (English).
In the coming weeks, each of the participating students will submit blog postings so that we can track their adventures in China. Below are a few photos taken by last year's group to get us started.
