Summer Immersion
After admission, first-year students arrive in the beginning of May and spend four weeks preparing for their Summer Immersion. Preparation includes courses in the area history of their chosen regions as well as courses in management strategy. All students depart for their respective countries the first week of June and return at the end of July.
During the trip, students attend a daily language class and various lectures on the history, art, politics, and culture of the individual country. Students visit both businesses and cultural sights in the country they are visiting and collaborate on a management consulting project. Whenever possible, students stay with a host family.

Famous quotes containing the word summer:
“The prairies were dust. Day after day, summer after summer, the scorching winds blew the dust and the sun was brassy in a yellow sky. Crop after crop failed. Again and again the barren land must be mortgaged for taxes and food and next year’s seed. The agony of hope ended when there was not harvest and no more credit, no money to pay interest and taxes; the banker took the land. Then the bank failed.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
