Welcome to our website.  The purpose for making this site is to give students who are interested in study trips an inside look as to what it is all about, to thank everyone who helped support our trip, and to show West Virginia State College what a great opportunity they have if they keep this course open for students. We're just getting started with the site, so check back with us soon when we have more.  In the meantime, look around and enjoy.
A Special Thanks
