The trip, which will enable the group to prove that summer can be an experience in academic and personal growth, is offered under the program given by the American Leadership Study Groups of Worcester, Mass. Before departure, the group had = several” orientations sessions and opportunities to review and increase their know- ledge of dates, places and personalities = which have shaped Europe over the cen- turies. During the tour they will have the chance to visit seven European countries, staying at various hotels and colleges within each country.
