Summer Trips

Starting in 2006, PSU has annually sending groups of 12 students and 2-3 members of PSU admin and faculty to spend two-weeks abroad in a different country. Two PSU groups – one for each campus - are hosted by one or more universities for the first week. The second week is spent exploring major cities, famed cultural sites and trekking about the hills and valleys. The IAO Directors on men and women campuses work with the host school(s) in planning on the cultural immersion on the summer study-travel trips.
