Program Structure 2008

Myrtle Beach meets Remagen

15 students of Coastal Carolina University accompanied by Dr. Yoav Wachsman visited the Rhineland in May. Through joint activities with the visiting CCU students, students of RheinAhrCampus and FH Bonn-Rhein-Sieg had excellent opportunities of finding out about academic life and social activities offered at CCU; through joint coursework they were able to familiarise themselves with the appropriate language for academic discussions and projects.

The focus of this year's teaching modules was on Consumer Rights in the United States and the European Union.

In addition to academic coursework, social activities ranging from sports events to an interactive rally of Bonn, the former capital of Germany, and a barbecue on the banks of the river Rhine, helped to foster strong relationships.

Remagen meets Myrtle Beach

The German participants of this year's summer school program were actively involved in preparing many of the activities offered during the first part of the summer school program. After the initial pre-departure meetings, contacts with CCU students were arranged through various videoconferences, email communications and chat sessions.

Through a buddy assignment, students took an active part in integrating the CCU students on campus and welcoming them to RheinAhrCampus and FH Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. This way, they also prepared for their own stay at Coastal Carolina Univerity in August/September.
