Study Trip

In January 2010, undergraduate students enrolled in the Business Process Fellows Program and the International/Global Opportunities Fellows program, and MBA and undergraduate student officers of the Thai American Business Club will take part in a course on global risk management. Students participating in this Winter-term course will travel to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Chong Buri over a 12-day period and will take part in presentations and exercises on logistics and supply chain issues in emergency management, and presentations from global consulting firms doing business in Thailand.

Students will also have the opportunity to take part in cultural exchange activities with members of the University of Maryland’s Alumni Association in Thailand and with students from Chulalongkorn, Thammasat and Chiang Mai Universities. Plans are for students in the Entrepreneurship Fellows Program to make the winter trip to Thailand in January 2010 and collaborate on entrepreneurial ventures being established there.
