Bristol Rotary, Rotary Foundation Hosts GSE Participants
Through the efforts of Assistant Governor, Michael Buchheit, Rotary GSE participant Marialuisa Iannaccone from Italy, BCCC Business Studies Professor, Vernon Wiegand, and BCCC student Tarnue Ballah met for a chat prior to Professor Wiegand’s Accounting class at the BCCC Lower Bucks Campus.
Miss Iannaccone, visiting from Avellino, Italy was interested in learning about the higher education system, American accounting standards, and the accounting vocation in the United States.
BCCC was just one of the stops on Miss Iannaccone's busy schedule for the day. Bristol Rotarians were involved with arranging and planning visits for all five of the participants from Italy.
The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of The Rotary Foundation is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young adults. Through the program, teams of professional men and women exchange visits between paired areas in different countries.
The awards involve four-week visits, during which team members share homes with Rotary families, experience the host country's institutions and ways of life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas with their professional counterparts.
This Rotary year, our district is exchanging teams with District 2100 in Naples, Italy. |
