Morocco for the Professors


Thanks to grants from the Petters Internationalization Initiative, fourteen Rollins faculty and staff members were able to visit Morocco from January 2-14. During the fall semester, participants attended a weekly seminar and took turns researching and presenting on various aspects of Moroccan culture in preparation for departure. In Morocco, our academic partner was the Center for Cross Cultural Learning in Rabat, who organized lectures, site visits, and homestays. Rachel Newcomb and Bob Moore from the Department of Anthropology and Nour Bennani from Information Technology led the group.

It is a very big advantage for Rollins faculty and staff members to visit such a wonderful country and to get more about the history of it.
Morocco is a really rich of its heritage, culture, traditions and customs.
Morocco becomes more popular nowadays not only for tourists but also for businessmen who want to invest money in property in Morocco.
