13. On the Horizon: PAC RIM Cultural/Art Documentation Project
Once every three years a group of students from the University of Puget Sound ventures out into the world for nine months of rigorous academic and personal inquiry. Visiting eight Asian nations, the group engages in a vast multicultural experience that forces them to confront novel systems of culture, economics, politics, religion, and philosophy. Asian classrooms and hands-on education extend the limits of the regular curriculum taking place on campus in the U.S.
