Students in Dr. Deric Greene's Special Topics in Communication course who traveled to Puerto Rico as part of the experiential learning component of the course presented their reflections about the intercultural experience. Through slides and oral presentations, the students reflected on their trip to Puerto Rico with Dr. Greene and Mrs. Christine Noya. They talked about their expectations for the trip, their experiences of culture shock, and their excitement at learning so much in another country. The Business Communication department is proud of their ability to articulate such insightful reflections.
