Our faculty have been busy this summer. After a two-year hiatus, the Rice in Madrid educational and cultural study abroad program is back. The six-week (May-July) program was highly successful: Professors Luis Duno-Gottberg and Esther Fernández took a group of 42 students from Rice to Spain, and they had the time of their lives. Students worked on their language and intercultural skills this summer as they completed internships with NGOs and enjoyed weekly cultural activities and weekend field trips.
