International Programs was thrilled to repeat the annual visit to Florida’s state government seat at Tallahassee with Dr. Law on March 18 and 19, 2015. Forty-seven students participated in this fantastic learning experience, eleven of whom were SPC international students. Sane Haidara, originally of Mali, had the following reaction to his experience:

We went to Tallahassee this week to visit the Senate, the House and to meet Florida legislators. The trip allowed me and a number of SPC students to attend a House Education Committee meeting and mock legislative session Thursday morning, March 19. The tour was very informative, and we experienced how an idea becomes a bill and is finally implemented as a law. Furthermore, we were able to exchange business cards with lawmakers. I believe this experience at the State Capitol has enhanced my leadership skills, and will help inform how I can help my home country, Mali, in addressing the issues we are facing.
