TESTIMONIALS

“The best part of our trip was the warmth and hospitality of the Cuban people.  People from our hotel receptionists, to waiters, to people on the street all asked if we enjoyed Cuba, if we were well fed and if everyone had treated us well.  We experienced the rich history of Havana and the beauty of the Cuban country side.  Every day was an adventure.” 

Bradley K. Oxford, MBA Student, Appalachian State University

“The relationship with Cuba as it stands is going to change eventually. If our students are familiar with Cuba, they will be a step ahead of everybody else when that change starts occurring.”

Martin Meznar, Associate Dean of International Programs, Walker College of Business
