Global Trekking
Observations from Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Beyond
Thursday, March 3, 2016 · 4:30 - 6 PM
Guest Speakers: Coco Tang (BA UMBC Political Science, History 2014) and Justin Van Buren (BA UMBC Economics 2013)
Two recent UMBC alumni, Coco Tang and Justin Van Buren, will be speaking to students about some of the incredible experiences they have had while traveling, working, and researching abroad.
Coco Tang has recently returned from a trip to Iran, and in the past year she has been to refugee camps in Jordan, to the Israeli-Gaza border, and to Sierra Leone. She also traveled to North Korea in 2013. Justin Van Buren recently traveled to Cuba and is in an MA program at George Mason University in International Commerce and Policy.
Both alumni have a wide breadth of experience, so it is highly encouraged that all Global Studies students attend this very unique event.
