Namaste! Welcome to the Nepal Program and Adventure in one of the world's most beautiful and exotic setting that you will never forget. In the ten years since the developement of this program, hundreds of students (undergraduate and graduate) and faculty from universities around the country have gained personal and intimate introduction to the cultures and peoples of Nepal. Participants have returned, not only with a better appreciation of cultural diversity but also what it means to be responsible citizens of what is fast-becoming a global society. The program will take you from the streets of Kathmandu to the peaks of the Himalayas, enabling participants to truly understand that nature of the world in which we live. Come and Join us and take advantage of this oppoturnity of a lifetime.
