One of the primary reasons John came to CSB/SJU was to promote international study and travel. He has directed the international program to Southwest Normal University in China and the Greco-Roman program to Athens and Rome. Along with a colleague from Gustavus he led January term courses in London, Brussels and Paris and in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. He has traveled to Hong Kong, China and Japan several times with students, for lectures and simply on adventures. He most recently returned from his first visit to Viet Nam, Cambodia and Thailand. John believes that CSB/SJU “make a wonderful home base from which our students can go out and explore the world and then return to reflect on and apply the fruits of that experience.”
