Travel Seminar

We would like to hear about your experiences with travel seminars abroad. Our program - the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Kean University -  is convening one in July to Cambodia, where the Khmer Rouge tribunal is wrapping up, as well as to Vietnam. We believe the experience is significant but have little evidence of this beyond testimonials. Students who signed up (others still can) tell us that the travel seminars we sponsor were one important reason they applied to our program.
