Visiting companies & Cultural activities
This course showed me how to look at the world with a deeper level of appreciation; it was
not only informative but also enlightening and it was so fun and exciting to study within the
Spanish culture. I would recommend this class to anyone who appreciates a balance of education
and inspiration.Katie Rose (Summer 2015)
This course is a great way to earn your credit for the OPIM class! Not only is the class
applicable to the actual business world by developing useful Excel skills, but spending it in
Spain for three weeks made it an even more memorable experience. I learned a lot during the trip,
not only in the course, but also in exploring the city and participating in the activities that
our program directors arranged. We got to go to a lot of cool museums, restaurants, and the beach
there is really nice too! I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested.

An amazing experience in a beautiful city where I met my best friends. A trip of a lifetime!

Having never been in a factory before I was amazed with how the machines do so many things.
It was also very interesting to see how they are expanding and how even though the country is in
an economic depression, their business is still doing well. Summer 2014 program alumni
I would highlight the tour through the factory and watching the products such as the plates
be made starting as a small sheet of plastic and ending up as a stack of plastic disposable bowls.

The visit to SP Berner was a great introduction to not only the manufacturing process of their
products, but the logistics behind it as well. Summer 2014 program alumni
I loved our class because we had the opportunity to learn the material directly from you during
class time, and then we were able to take a sort of hands on approach and see how the class material
applied in real life scenarios through the business visits. It was also very helpful how both you and
Juanjo were always available to help when students had questions or concerns. Rosie Davies (Summer 2015)
Seeing the actual process during our tour was very interesting, and I think it was beneficial
to see it with our eyes rather than just on a powerpoint screen. Summer 2014 program alumni
The staff presented the information of their company in great detail. As a member of the
audience, it was evident that they spent time preparing for our visit. Summer 2014 program alumni
