Victoria Kervick participated in a J-Term study tour to Puerto Rico

2015 Feb 18

Victoria Kervick of Mchenry, IL participated in a study tour to Puerto Rico in January with Carthage College.

Professors Kari Duffy and Matthew Borden led the course, Filming Culture: Explorations Beyond Tourism. After some basic video training on campus, the group traveled to Puerto Rico and filmed the people and events they encountered. Students are assigned to edit mounds of footage into a final product suitable for a TV travel show.

The study tour came during J-Term, a monthlong period of study when Carthage students explore subjects outside their majors or minors, discover new interests, and test their creativity through classes held on campus and around the world. Carthage is ranked No. 7 in the nation among baccalaureate institutions for student participation in short-term study abroad, according to the Institute of International Education.
