Edison Seeks Community Input For Travel
Abroad Program
Edison Community College’s Travel Abroad program, which recently
returned from an extensive, week-long trip through China, is seeking
input from the community for its next tour, tentatively scheduled for
March 2013.
The potential destinations for the next trip will be Costa Rica,
England/Scotland and Greece.
Many adults from the Edison three-county service area have traveled
with the program since the first tour in 2004, and tour leader Eileen
Thompson and tour marketing director Vivian Blevins are soliciting
community input on the next travel destination.
The study abroad program was started by Thompson and Blevins in 2003.
The pair was looking to launch a group trip to Spain the following
spring. With no budget, they were able to put together a week-long trip
that took 25 travelers to Madrid and Barcelona. In the years following
the program’s inception, the group has made two trips to Italy, one to
Ireland and this year’s trip to China. Approximately 180 people have
been involved in the program since its inception.
Those interested in participating in this travel abroad opportunity can
contact the program directors with their destination preference. Eileen
Thompson at ethompson@edisonohio.edu or by phone at 778-7914 and Vivian
Blevins at vblevins@edisonohio.edu or by phone at 778-3815.
