A faculty-led study abroad program over Thanksgiving break saw 21 students in the Kansas State University College of 1xbet online games login Administration traveling to Barcelona, Rome and Florence to gain a better understanding of the international 1xbet online games login world. The trip was co-led by Swinder Janda, professor of marketing and the Robert M. Edgerley chair in global 1xbet online games login , and Bente Janda, assistant dean for student services.
According to Swinder Janda, study abroad opportunities give students a leg up on their peers in the current global 1xbet online games login climate.

"It is wonderful to see students gain a holistic perspective of international 1xbet online games login concepts through observation and interactions with executives and others abroad," said Swinder Janda. "Study abroad provides students with insights into an essential aspect of contemporary 1xbet online games login ."
The 10-day program started in Barcelona, where the group took part in a guided bike tour of the city, a tapas tour and a 1xbet online games login visit to Torres Winery. The students also conducted a field study at the Barcelona open air market.
The group then continued on to Rome, where they took a walking tour of the city, and made 1xbet online games login visits to theAgriturismoolive oil and wine farm and a separate olive oil producer. They also conducted a series of field studies related to Italian clothing stores.
