GCIP is expanding to Madrid! Spanish teacher Amy Dorrien-Traisci leaves with four students on Sunday June 10th where they'll immerse themselves in the Spanish culture and the city of Madrid. Students will follow the GCIP model of "living and learning while doing." They'll live with host families and will also work at internships while there. GCIP-Madrid participants are : Sophie DenUyl ('13), Hannah McCormack ('13), Andy Moreau ('13) and Julia Rayhill ('12). Andy will work in the lab at the Instituto de Ciencias de Materiales de Madrid while Sophie, Hannah and Julia will be interning at AC Hotels Marriott.
You can follow their blog at : http://gcipmadrid.blogspot.com/. They'll start posting once they get settled with their families and start to explore their new surroundings. Good luck GCIP-Madrid!
