South Korea and Bolivia depart, Costa Rica arrives

We just received a text message from the GCP Costa Rica group that they have arrived safely!

The groups going to South Korea and Bolivia have departed campus.  Here is a photo of President Tracy Fitzsimmons seeing off members of the Bolivia trip an hour ago.

Costa Rica is off to Dulles!

Hello everyone,
This is Sarah Giunta reporting for the Costa Rica group! We have successfully all loaded into our transportation van and are off to the airport to get through customs and security. The van is toasty warm (a little too warm), and everything still feels surreal. Many of us are traveling abroad for the first time and the excitement is bubbling up in all of us. Our only question right now is "Are we there yet??"

More soon! Safe travels everyone!

Watch this space...

All GCP 2014 participants have been given access to post their photos, stories and reflections here as they experience their international adventures.  As the first group prepares to depart campus in twelve hours for Costa Rica, stay tuned to this blog and to our Facebook page for updates.

GCP 2014 is one week away from launch!

Costa Rica will start us off with an early morning departure from campus at midnight (Thurs), followed by South Korea, Bolivia, Morocco, and Albania. We will post confirmation of each group's safe arrival in their country as soon as they check in. They will also be blogging stories and photos as their time and internet connectivity allows. You can also keep connected via Facebook and Twitter. So stay tuned!
