Every other year, the MSU I/O program embarks on an international trip. The trips provide exposure to international aspects of I/O psychology and give students a rich cross cultural experience. Over the last 15 years we have visited England, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and South Africa.
Students and faculty traveled to South Africa for two weeks in May of 2008. We collaborated with students from Eden Campus in Karatara. Eden Campus is South Africa’s first free rural eco-business school for entrepreneurs.
During the tour, students and faculty attended a traditional braai, visited KooBoo Berry Farm, participated in a drumming seminar with Nidhi Chaitow and Richelle Kohn, visited a game lodge, and toured Capetown. The trip was organized as a collaboration between MSU I/O program and MSU’s Construction Management Department. The trip was led by Scott Fee.
In 2007, students and faculty traveled to Vietnam and China. Visit the Vietnam and Hong Kong Study Tour page for more information.
