International Management Class at the Saudi Cultural Mission

Hood’s International Management class was excited to attend a presentation at the Saudi Arabian Embassy. "We had a cultural experience that included traditional Saudi food, a display of the country’s monuments and buildings, and traditional Saudi clothing. After a presentation on modern Saudi Arabia, we were able to engage in constructive discussion about the place of women in the society, and how men and women can interact within the Saudi borders. During a fashion show, members of the audience, including Camille Pateau, Professor La Fleur and myself, dressed in traditional Saudi garb and were taught the history of dress in the country. After dinner, we socialized with and got to know our hosts." -MJ Swicegood, MBA candidate.
