Cottey students have some pre-work leading up to those experiences to better understand and engage with their faculty/staff led experiences while on location. However, this work is not necessary for trip attendees to complete, though we are happy to provide it to any participants who would like additional information prior to the experience. To give you some examples, faculty/staff-led experiences in Vienna included Beauty and Tragedy at the Hofburg Imperial Palace, Death and Cake, and Health Standards at Naschmarkt.
