Puerto Rico class open to all grad students

Attention all graduate students: combine credits with spring break on Caribbean beaches...without MTV!

WRIT 599: Topics in Technical Communication Intercultural Experience in Puerto Rico is open to all graduate students looking to fulfill their international component, or just an amazing elective.

The first part of the course involves meeting weekly to discuss research topics, Puerto Rican culture, various techniques and Spanish (don’t be scared—it’s a list of 700 words).

For two weeks over spring break the class moves to the Universidad de Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras, where students will work with other students and work on projects. It’s not all work, though—you’ll have time to lie on the beach, tour historic Viejo San Juan, zipline through caves, hike the rainforest, kayak bioluminescent bays and roadtrip to Rincon, a surfer’s Mecca.
