Thirteen Moore School of Business undergraduates traveled last 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 represented a partnership between the Moore School of Business, including the Global Business Council (an undergraduate student organization), and the Sister Cities Program of the World Affairs Council.   Joel Stevenson, Director of the USC Technology Incubator and Professor of Small Business, accompanied the group as Lead Facilitator. 

This first international service learning project was the first of its kind for the Moore School.  It focused on Cross-Cultural Communication, Globalization, and Entrepreneurship.  A total of 84 sophomores and juniors from 7 high schools in the Cluj area attended the week-long camp.
