Study Tours

The Bahamas

January 1, 2024

CSB + SJU students along with Dr. Matt Lindstrom,  Dr. Brittany Merritt-Nash, and Dr. Deborah Pembleton visited The Bahamas for a study tour hosted by the McCarthy Center and the Climate Justice Club. These students explored New Providence Island, met with various Bahamian CSB + SJU grads, and learned more about the beautiful and culture-dense place many of our students call home.
