Preview Leaders Named for Spring 2011
Janice Finn, Associate Dean of International Affairs, has announced the faculty and staff members selected for the annual Arcadia spring break tradition since 1994—Preview!
Preview is a spring break experience for first-year students and transfer students at Arcadia University. Arcadia faculty and staff mentors lead the students on Preview. During its inaugural year in 1994 there were 140 student participants, and the program has grown to hundreds of students each year.
Preview 2011 kicks off with an expanded menu of opportunities for first-year students, offering the traditional non-credit experience in London along with nine 2-credit course options: England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain (two sites), Mexico, France and New Zealand, and for the first time Preview will be available to a U.S. location, Los Angeles. Preview for transfer students also expands this year, adding a Spring 2011 semester course with travel to Austria along with a course with travel to Italy over spring break, March 11 to 18. Each 2-credit course runs from late January until early April.
