FACULTY

The faculty for the IBE trip will be Professor Lawrence J. Marks, Department of Marketing.  Students receive 3 semester credits for this Summer class.

TRAVEL TO AND FROM SWITZERLAND

Although students purchase their own plane tickets, travel arrangements will be coordinated with Dr. Marks.  Current plans suggest that the group of students and the faculty member will meet at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and travel to Geneva with a return flight from Paris. Upon arrival in Geneva, the group takes a local train to the main train station in Geneva and have a short walk to the KSU Geneva Dorm.  Following the conclusion of the program, students often travel (with pre-arrangement) on their own or together with friends or family, or return home to Cleveland.

Students who wish to develop personal travel plans for places they would like to visit on their own following conclusion of the program need to determine a date of departure for the return flight to the U. S.  This is a requirement for securing reasonable round trip airfare.  

ACCOMMODATIONS

The students and faculty reside at Kent State University -- Geneva a dorm facility which is a 10 minute walk to Gare Cornavin (the Central Bus and Train Station).  While at the dorm, a breakfast is provided in a common kitchen area.  

Students live in dormitory rooms generally set up for three or four students. Each room has its own bathroom and shower.  Students should recognize that some conveniences like laundry facilities and spacious showers are not what they may be accustomed to at home.  Students will have access to a refrigerator for food and drinks and a microwave oven, as well as the common kitchen area with a stove and oven.

While in France, we will stay in hotels, in double rooms.  In these hotels, rooms will have a bathroom and will have either a shower stall or a bathtub with a shower head on a hose.
