WEST PLAINS, Mo. – Alex Pinnon, director of the William and Virginia Darr Honors Program at Missouri State University-West Plains, will discuss study abroad opportunities available through the program at the Friends of the Garnett Library monthly luncheon meeting Friday, March 11, on the Missouri State-West Plains campus.
Each year, students in the program are given the opportunity to take a short-term study abroad trip to expand their global knowledge and awareness and apply some of the lessons they’ve learned in the classroom. In the past, students have visited such countries as England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and more. In his presentation, Pinnon will show photos from recent trips and discuss the importance of study abroad opportunities for local students.
Pinnon, a graduate of the program, has a Master of Arts in English, with an emphasis in Literature and Critical Theory from Missouri State University in Springfield.
The luncheon and meeting will take place from noon to 1 p.m. in rooms 104 and 105 on the lower level of the Lybyer Technology Center. Parking is available in the lot off Cass Avenue on the north side of the building.
