Cuba 2013
UDM is planning a one week excursion to Cuba at the end of the Winter 2014 academic term (April 27-May 5).
THE PURPOSE OF this program is to introduce UDM students to the people, culture and history of Cuba. We'll look at various sectors of Cuban society. We will also examine the impact on Cuba and the United States resulting from Washington's embargo of the island in an attempt to better understand U.S.-Cuban relations.
