(Rescheduled from 2003 due to SARS outbreak in China)
Don't miss
out on these educational
adventure trips for the body, mind, and spirit!
The
program is conducted by CMC professors Dr. Peter
Jeschofnig and his wife Linda who have lived and traveled
extensively abroad. Peter and Linda believe adventure is
intellectual curiosity in action and have been conducting
CMC Study Abroad trips for over a decade. They developed
this program at the enthusiastic urging of many previous
travelers, including Jim and Connie Calaway.
The inaugural trip in this series is to China and Tibet
and will explore the art, history, architecture,
archaeology, food, and culture of those areas. Highlights
of the trip will include Beijing with its Great Wall,
Forbidden City, and spectacular Beijing Opera; Xian's
fascinating Terra Cotta Warriors; Lhasa's Potala Palace
plus Tibetan temples and monasteries with lectures by
Buddhist monks; a cruise on the Yangtze River past the
three gorges and the new damn; bustling Shanghai and
a performance by the Shanghai Acrobats; plus leisure time
in Hong Kong for final shopping. Pre-trip lectures and
activities will be held in the spring of 2003.
The all-inclusive tour price of $4500 includes RT air by
United, deluxe 4 star accommodations, all meals - except in
Hong Kong where only breakfast is provided, all
activities, and travel insurance. CMC tuition for 3
credit hours in cultural studies (ANT-221) is additional
and costs from $21 to $82 per credit hour, depending on
age and residence status. A $500/per person deposit is
required to reserve a space in the group. This deposit,
less a $100 administrative fee, is refundable through
February 1, 2003. The balance of tour fees are due
in full by March 1, 2003.

Cancellation & Refund Policy: Generally, our Study Abroad and Great Travels tours cannot be cancelled after the final registration date for a tour. International services and reservations must be arranged and prepaid well in advance; thus, very seldom are any cancellations allowed. CMC’s cancellation and refund policy is dependent upon the cancellation and refund policy of our suppliers. Again, cancellations and refunds are seldom allowed.
To protect students and the college, a standard travel insurance policy is included in each tour package. The insurance covers such things as an accident, injury, or family tragedy preventing travel, lost luggage, medical evacuation, etc. The insurance policy belongs to and any claims must be filed by the individual student; the college purchases these policies for students to effectuate substantial savings allowed through group purchasing.
