Program Structure 2016

Myrtle Beach meets Remagen

14 students of Coastal Carolina University accompanied by Prof. Dr. Yoav Wachsman, David Doerring and Karen Sauls visited the Rhineland in May. Through joint activities students of RheinAhrCampus and Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, they explored the academic life and social activities offered at their German partner universities; students from RheinAhrCampus and Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences were able to familiarise themselves with the appropriate language for academic discussions and projects while getting some first glimpses of CCU campus culture. This year's teaching modules offered insights into International Management and a comparative look at German and US Business Culture. Students had the chance to complete some preparatory research and learn about important aspects of transatlantic business practices as well as presenting the results of their online research assignments during their face-to-face meetings on campus.

In addition to academic coursework, social activities ranging from sports events to a barbecue on campus, a boat trip of the river Rhine and excursions to Bonn, including a City Rally, Cologne, Garzweiler and Aachen 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 email communications and a buddy assignment. Due to these optioins, students took an active part in integrating the CCU students on campus and welcoming them to RheinAhrCampus and Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University. Thus, it was great to meet many of the students again during the International Summer School at CCU in Fall. CCU students offered lots of social activities around the scheduled program - thus providing the participants with a great chance to share parts of their campus life.
