Students Gain World View on Trip to Seoul, Korea

Students from the University of Central Florida, University of Delaware and Cornell University recently traveled to Seoul, Korea, to explore the nature of South Korean public administration.

The group visited the city from Oct. 21-29, 2011, to participate in a weeklong case study of policy management funded by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Through lectures, seminars and field trips, the students learned about the city's innovative approaches to addressing transportation and environmental challenges.

Peter Colby, professor of public administration, led the contigency from UCF, which included Iliana Castro, Fred Coulter, Elizabeth Krekel, Kaitlyn Lefebvre, Vanessa Littleton, Eva Marcos, Taylor Mountain, Sandra Ruff and Kelda Senior. 

For a report on the trip, see Seoul Study Abroad 2011. Photos from the trip and additional information are available at http://www.wix.com/ucfseoul2011/casestudy.
