EUROPEAN TRIP WITH PANOLA COLLEGE

Panola College will host a trip to Europe during the summer of 2016. This 9
day excursion will take travelers to England, France, and Germany. The trip
is slated to occur from June 1st to June 9th.  It is open to anyone 18
years of age or older with a valid, U.S. passport.  Students may register
for the trip in conjunction with Panola College’s government or history
courses and receive full college credit for the excursion.

The tour will begin in London, where travelers will admire Big Ben and the
London Bridge, observe the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace, and
visit the Winston Churchill War Rooms (the headquarters of England’s top
military commanders in WWII). After London, the tour will ferry across the
English Channel to Paris, where travelers will experience the grandeur of
the Eifel Tower, the beauty of Notre Dame Cathedral, and the magnificence
of the Louvre Museum (home of Di Vinci’s Mona Lisa). The tour will then
head to Normandy, where travelers can experience the heroic actions of the
allied forces with a visit to Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, and
Overlord Museum. The tour will conclude with a journey to Munich, Germany
for a visit to Dachau, a prominent concentration camp of WWII, and
Neuschwanstein Castle. Each evening, travelers will have the opportunity to
venture out on their own for further sightseeing.

The trip will cost approximately $4,500 for students (plus tuition and
fees) and $5,000 for non-students. The cost includes the travel expenses,
museum entrances, and two daily meals. Panola College will hold a public
meeting discussing the major details of the trip on Tuesday, October 6, at
12 pm and 5 pm in the Murphy-Payne Community Room of the college library.
