Measurable Outcome(s)

Everyone attending enjoyed both offerings on this trip. Learned a variety about different cultures, both ancient and modern. Comments include: "First time at MIA. Global Market was very interesting. Good food, diverse business and people." "The MIA is always a treat and I learned a lot of Egyptian history/folklore. Coming from a currently flooded area I found it interesting that the flooding of the Nile was a good thing!" "I especially liked this program because it was to a place I probably wouldn't have tone to on my own. Very wonderful to have this planned, details and information about the days schedule."
