Blair students and faculty often travel abroad during Spring Break and in the summer months to experience other cultures, broaden their classroom learning or immerse themselves in a foreign language. In fact, Blair firmly believes these opportunities, which vary from one year to another, are just one more reason to “come to Blair.” Click here to learn more about these sojourns.

In 2008, one such summer trip will be conducted by Don Morley, chair of the foreign language department. Don, who will venture to Spain with his students, has created a special Web site to provide details to interested students and their parents. Click here to learn more.
