Dr. Fitzpatrick's program at Husson University

We worked together with Dr. Tom Fitzpatrick to create a program designed to expose students to the fastest growing economy in world. Together, we found the best ways to expose his students to the three most important commercial, cultural and governmental cities in China: Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. The program also involves visits to major multinational corporations, cultural activities and lectures from Chinese University business faculty.
