Orientation

Last thursday the staff and students headed over to Hotel Zenit for the Orientation of the Semester in Spain program. Burt Rozema, the Director of Off-Campus Programs at Trinity Christian College, started off the meeting by challenging the students to make the most of their time here and really challenged them to do their part in changing the world for the better.

Students went around the room to introduce themselves and ask each other random fun questions.

Leslie, the school Director, began telling the students everything that they have an opportunity to be a part of this semester. Each of the professors also came up to introduce themselves and give some information about the school and the excursions they will get to go on together.

After taking a placement test (and just before the students hit information overload)

it was time for a coffee break.

That afternoon everyone met back at the school for a city tour given by local Spaniards. The greatest part about Sevilla is that all of the major landmarks can be reached by walking around. Students learned random facts about how the World Expo of 1929 changed much of the city and also that the Plaza de España was used in Star Wars Episode 2.

The students appeared excited and slightly overwhelmed by all the Sevilla has to offer but soon they will come to know the city in and out.
