We
recently paid a visit to Babson College (above), which is near Boston.
The college has received acclaim in Entrepreneur Magazine for its top-notch
program for business entrepreneurs. Other campus visits in this region
included Wellesley College, MIT, Harvard University, Northeastern and
Boston College. The co-op program at Northeastern University is of particular
interest to those looking for internships with a global focus. We also visited the University of Oregon, including the new gem of the campus, the Lundquist School of Business. See our website for details. The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology located on the magnificent Oregon coast is the venue for the new undergraduate majore in biology. Take notice of the new University of British Columbia. The university's library (above) is at the center of a magnificent campus which includes an array of global programs and internships for students. The setting in Vancouver is terrific for outdoor activities and cultural events, and the campus has a strong international focus. Occidental College in California also offers strong internship opportunities, and a strong international focus and community focus.
CTLC author Loren Pope says that "These schools share two essential elements: a familial sense of communal enterprise that gets students heavily involved in cooperative rather than competitive learning, and a faculty of scholars devoted to helping young people develop their powers, mentors who often become their valued friends." Says Pope, "The secret of these 40 colleges' magic is not in what they do, for they do many different things. It is in how they do it, and that is where they have so much in common." CAMPUS VISITS Our campus visits scheduled for June include: Vanderbilt University, University of the South, Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Davidson College, Wake Forest University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University, College of William and Mary, University of Richmond, George WashingtonUniversity and George Mason University.
