ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE ON STUDY TRAVEL IN ECUADOR


Professor of International Studies Wayne Selcher comments on a recent Spring Break Study Trip to Ecuador with students and faculty from Elizabethtown College.

"We have just completed this College´s third annual Spring Break Study Trip to Ecuador through The Experiment in International Living in Ecuador (EIL Ecuador) in Quito, nine full days in country each time, in the Andean region. All the participants, ranging in age from 19 to 70, were ecstatic about the trip. Those persons who had travelled abroad before were especially effusive in their praise for the quality of service by EIL, and the experiences we had. One participant said it was better than his trekking trip to Nepal last year, which was an excellent one. Two students are now seriously planning to do a semester at our study abroad location in Ecuador, as a result of this trip.

Several persons said that they would like to go on this trip again in a future year. Each year it gets better! Thanks so much to EIL for this opportunity to take students, faculty and staff, graduates, and friends of the College to Ecuador in such a special fashion. The EIL staff is a joy to work with, accommodated the personal needs and interests of everyone, and took genuine pleasure in showing their country to us."
