Summer Trips
Since 2006, PSU has annually sent groups of 24 students along with 2–3 administrators and faculty members to spend two weeks abroad in a different country. Each year, two PSU groups—one from each campus—are hosted by one or more partner universities during the first week. The second week is dedicated to exploring major cities, renowned cultural landmarks, and trekking through scenic landscapes. The IAO Directors from both the male and female campuses coordinate with host institutions to plan the cultural immersion components of the summer study-travel programs.
