Philadelphia Inquirer Highlights Arcadia in Cuba

The Philadelphia Inquirer focused on Americans studying abroad in Cuba this week, in an article which heavily featured Arcadia students and the “one-of-a-kind” Arcadia in Cuba program.

Tim Barton, Director of Student Services, was quoted in the article: "While about 50 American colleges run Cuba programs lasting a week to a few months,” he said, "only Arcadia maintains a presence in Cuba across the fall, spring, and summer semesters."

Additionally, Arcadia’s Resident Director for Cuba, Elena Moreno, discussed the power of cross cultural exchange between the two nations. “The Cuban and American people really do not have anything against one another, and that is something our students could feel."

The article, titled “Studying Abroad, U.S. Students Catch a Wave in Cuba,” also profiles a number of students currently on the Arcadia in Cuba semester program for the Spring, including Janelle Crilley, Jessica Perez, Alexa Posner, Hanna Garcia, Rebecca Acetal, Jade Harvey and Kylie Grow.
