Interest meeting today for Study Abroad Honduras

November 16, 2011 by Meagan Hernandez

The Griggs Center for Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy will offer students the chance to learn about how they can study social entrepreneurship in Honduras next summer.

An interest meeting for this new study abroad opportunity will take place at 5 p.m. Wednesday in Room 301 of the Mabee Business Building. Dr. Jim Litton, associate professor of business and director of the Griggs Center for Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy, and Dr. Andrew Little, assistant professor of business law, will discuss the program.

“This is a new opportunity to introduce students to entrepreneurship,” Litton said.

During the Summer IV semester, students will travel to Honduras and work on projects directly with the leadership of Honduras-based non-profit Mission Lazarus.

Mission Lazarus was founded by ACU alumnus Jared Brown. At the meeting, Brown will discuss his organization’s holistic ministry of planting and growing churches across Honduras through educational and spiritual outreaches at the interest meeting.

Little said the projects students will work on have not yet been set in stone, but he and Litton will discuss this with Brown on Wednesday. Little said the program will give students great insight into business in developing countries whatever the opportunists will be.

“This trip will open student’s eyes and inspire them to go in the direction the College of Business wants students to go,” Little said.

Litton said being able to work with Mission Lazarus would make the trip even more rewarding.

“Through our contacts with Brown we have been able to create a unique opportunity to work with a great social venture,” Litton said.

Litton said the Honduras study abroad trip would count toward a 3-hour credit for internship or project requirements. He said the students would have some classwork leading up to trip. The lesson would then culminate with the hands on trip.

“I think it is a great opportunity for business students to take the concepts from the classroom and put them into practice in the field,” Litton said.

A tentative deadline for applications is Dec. 6.

Students looking for more information can contact Little at andrew.little@acu.edu.
