TU Education, Ethics, and Change in the Land of Confucius, China
When East meets West! Explore education, ethics, and change in the land of Confucius with TU professors Ashley Lucas and Sarah Liu. Program participants will trace the intellectual history of Confucianism and Taoism, witness how China’s education has been impacted by the tradition, and explore ethical and social justice issues from multiple perspectives. The learning experience will be enhanced by school visits, shadowing education students, guest lectures, and cultural activities. Students will spend time in the City of Qingdao/Tsingtao (meaning green island), Qufu – the hometown of Confucius, and China’s capital city – Beijing. Program highlights include visits to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Summer Palace.

TU Health Professions in the Dominican Republic
Explore cultural diversity and healthcare in the Dominican Republic. Develop your cultural understanding through immersion in Spanish language classes and service learning opportunities. Site visits to health care institutions and organizations such as local hospitals, clinics or non-profit organizations, and schools in the local area will deepen your appreciation of what it is to be a health professional. Cross disciplinary seminar discussions, cultural activities, guest lectures, and service learning opportunities will give you a broader perspective on the social and environmental components of health and healthcare as you and other future health professionals examine topics related to the Dominican life and culture. The program is based in Santo Domingo – home to approximately 2.9 million residents. Known as the “First City of the New World”, Santo Domingo is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas. Today the city is a bustling modern urban hub steeped in history.
