Before departing for the Romney Institute’s annual study abroad in Ghana this April, Marriott School students were given a challenge: see with African eyes and hear with African ears. The students, a multidisciplinary team made up of twenty-five MPA, MBA, and MAcc majors, took that task to heart, spending three weeks working on various management projects in the African nation. This was the largest cohort to ever participate in the annual trip, which was started in 2004. “I worked with an orphanage called Ghana Make a Difference,” says Rachel Henrie, second-year MAcc student. “We helped revise the organization’s accounting system.
