MARL Now: Morocco Welcomes MARL Class VI

MARL Class VI had a wonderful experience on their International Study Tour to Morocco. The sights, sounds, smells, tastes, events, places and people of Morocco all combined to give MARL Class VI a world class, unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Every day was packed with tours, meeting new people, speakers, trying new foods and learning about a new culture. We were welcomed, treated well and invited back by our Moroccan friends. You can follow the journey of Class VI in Morocco by going to Facebook and typing MARL Morocco in the search box. Once there you will find pictures and comments from class members.

I have prepared a PowerPoint presentation for MARL Class VI members to use to deliver presentations to your group or organization. Each class member was given the assignment to give a presentation to three different groups. MARL Class VI class members have their bios and contact information listed at www.MARLprogram.org under Current MARL Class. Please contact them directly to set up a presentation time. E-mail me at Dan.Hoffman@SMSU.edu if you need help finding the right person to present to your group.

Hotel reservations for graduation need to be made before March 9 for special pricing. Contact information for Oak Ridge Hotel, RSVP for graduation and meal choices are on the home page at www.MARLprogram.org.
