Centenary students' cultural trip to Barbados includes service
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS)—Centenary students traveling to fulfill their culture credit will also give to the community.
Centenary students going to Barbados for cultural exposure will also be taking books with them—about 20 pounds each. During their trip, the students will visit two schools. During those visits, they will donate books and interact with younger students there.

Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies Dr. Andia Augustin-Billy feels it is important to give back to the communities they visit. 'Critically, it also provides a valuable opportunity for our students to engage in service and to think about our role as visitors—emphasizing that we aim not just to learn from our host country, but also to contribute positively.'
Centenary is known for incorporating international travel into its curriculum. This summer, Centenary students will also visit Australia, Italy, New Zealand, and Spain. Centenary in Paris is a program for incoming freshmen to take their first course in France during the August term.
