Dr. Asiah Mason, the Director of CPSO’s Center for International Programs and Services (CIPS), is excited about the upcoming India Study Tour that CIPS will be taking from December 31, 2008 until January 10, 2009. Here, Dr. Mason discusses what to expect on the tour of this vast and diverse country:
What a great and exciting opportunity! Gallaudet University Center for International Programs and Services is thrilled about this upcoming tour of India. It is going to be a rewarding experience as we tour and study the historical cities in India. India present itself in a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions. It is impossible not to be astonished by India with its beautiful landscapes, national parks and mountain ranges.
During the tour, we plan to visit the following cities; Mumbai (Bombay), Delhi (New Delhi), Jaipur, Agra and Khajuraho.
Mumbai
The city is the bubblegum glamour of Bollywood cinema, shopping malls full of designer labels, cricket on the Oval Maidan, promenading families eating bhelpuri on the beach at Chowpatty, red double-decker buses queuing in grinding traffic jams and the infamous cages of the red-light district.
This exciting program offers opportunities for graduate course credit, school curriculum development, and international school partnerships for deaf and hard of hearing participants.
