Study Travel
Changes Are Afoot . . .
We’ve been re-organized! Study Travel has joined the Alumni and Parent Relations department, and Conferences and Events is now part of the newly-formed department of Events and Conferences. The Center for Lifelong Learning no longer exists as such, but our programs continue as before. As always, they are open to the public. This new alignment offers opportunities to explore fresh approaches to Study Travel, so watch for exciting options in future newsletters and on our web site.
We can still be reached at 507-786-3066 or our toll-free phone number, 866-255-6523. We’ll be happy to hear from you!
