Thirteen Moore School of Business undergraduates pictured below traveled this summer to Cluj-Napoca, Romania, to teach a Business English Immersion Camp for high school students. Led by Dr. Carolyn Jones, Assistant Dean for the Undergraduate Division, the Camp represents a partnership between the Moore School of Business, the Sister Cities Program of the World Affairs Council, and Junior Achievement.
Joel Stevenson, Director of the USC Technology Incubator and professor of small business accompanied the group as Lead Facilitator. While in Romania, Professor Stevenson met with members of the mayor's office and shared information about the USC Columbia Technology Incubator. Linda Dennis, Editor-in-Chief of PC Teach IT and PC Create IT, also accompanied the group and offered workshops to Romanian teachers on integrating technology into teaching and learning.
The project is the first of its kind for the Moore School, possibly for any business school in the country. This first international service learning project focused on Cross-Cultural Communication, Globalization and Entrepreneurship. The week-long Camp included visits to local industries in Cluj and a final day of sharing cultural traditions between Romanian students and the Moore School team. A total of 84 sophomores and juniors from 7 high schools in the Cluj area attended the camp. With the success of this first Camp in Romania, plans are to make Business English Immersion Camps a long-term program and take them to other countries as well. Details of a few of the participants are given below. To view additional photographs, please click here .
