The Financial Management Association President Jessica Curtis and eleven other students recently returned from a trip to Egypt. The trip date was from January 3rd to 15th. The trip offered by The Center for International Education and led by Finance professor Dr. Mahmoud Haddad and Lorrie Jackson, Administrative Specialist for the Center. Along the journey, these students discovered the Egyptian beauty, viewed the legendary Great Pyramid and the Sphinx; studied the Alexandria and Cairo Stock Market; visited the Alexandria Library, and admired the beautiful water of the Red Sea. Students also earned course credits while on this trip. The estimated cost of the trip was about $3400.00 per person, which includes round trip flights, hotel accommodations, and spending twelve days in two of the most beautiful cities, Cairo and Sharm. Jessica had this to say about the trip, “Everything we saw and did was great! I learned so much from every aspect of the trip. From learning about the Arabic culture and Economics and how religion is tied into every aspect of their lives.” Dr. Haddad and Ms. Jackson also commented on how everyone had enjoyed Egypt.
