January 2004 Trip

In January 2004, Professors Gunderson, Haley, Johnson and Schellenger went to Peru to check out the facilities and set up our study abroad tour -- we brought along two UWO economics majors to help us out.  Gunderson signs the cooperation agreement with the rector of the Universidad del Pacifico.



And we toured the campus...

  and  

And met Danny Gibbons (front left) who runs the study abroad and international programs at UP.  We also met with Professor Elsa Galarza (here's her office).  Professors Johnson and Galarza have been working on a number of collaborative education projects.

  and then     

Lunch with some of the UP faculty...

After the work, we had some fun, checking out tour companies, travel options, hotels, and fabulous sites...

  and

Our hotel in Ollantalytambo 

and the fantastic Incan sites in the area...

  and and

though it doesn't seem like Laurie and Sarah have much faith in our driver...
