Study Abroad Faculty Resources:
Dr Karen Koza’s marketing students participated in a
virtual presentation for the business faculty at Loyola
College in Spring 2009. In Summer 2010, we will be rolling our first “official” faculty resource page. This will consist of a variety of tools including an online handbook and links to valuable faculty resources. Meanwhile, should you have any questions about leading a course abroad or other opportunities abroad, please contact Elena Hart.
