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:
“While yet it is cold January, and snow and ice are thick and solid, the prudent landlord comes from the village to get ice to cool his summer drink; impressively, even pathetically, wise, to foresee the heat and thirst of July now in January,—wearing a thick coat and mittens! when so many things are not provided for. It may be that he lays up no treasures in this world which will cool his summer drink in the next.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
