Penn State Great Valley students visited the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, as part of the week-long trip in their Global Immersion course.
Penn State Great Valley’s MNGMT 897 Global Immersion course trip to Strasbourg, France, took a while to get off the ground — literally. The course was first offered in spring 2020, but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the international travel component was canceled just three days before the class was set to leave the United States. Three years later, Great Valley was able to hold the course with a successful trip abroad.
Penn State Great Valley released the results of a survey of students’ experiences with and attitudes about sexual misconduct, including a finding that 100% of Great Valley students who responded said they feel safe from sexual assault on and around campus. The results are part of a comprehensive University-wide survey conducted last fall.
