Six East Central University business students are headed overseas – five to France and one to Germany – this fall for at least one semester through °µÍřTV’s Go Global Study Abroad Program.
Shelby O’Dell, an accounting major from Marietta and Turner High School; Casie Henderson, an entrepreneurship major from Purcell; Jacey McDonald, a marketing major from Blanchard; Madison Keith, a business management major from Purcell and Washington High School; and Cody Rekieta, a business management major from Burleson, Texas, will be attending °µÍřTV’s sister institution – the University of Limoges in Limoges, France.
Colten Skinner, a double-major in business management information systems and history, will be attending another of °µÍřTV’s sister institutions - the University of Applied Sciences in Biberach, Germany.
By participating in this program, °µÍřTV business students are eligible to earn a Global Business Certificate as this opportunity increases the students’ awareness of the global business environment.
“This will be a fantastic learning experience for our students. While visiting with them they seemed eager, confident and will no doubt represent our university well,” said °µÍřTV President Dr. Katricia Pierson. “I’m also excited to hear about their experiences as they go along and especially when they come back. Studying globally can have far-reaching effects, not only personally but on an educational level.”
