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:<\/p>\n<p><i><br \/>\nWe 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.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>-Sane Haidara<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information on SPC International Programs,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.spcollege.edu\/international\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>See below for more photos of the Tallahassee group:<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-weight: bold;font-size: 12px;text-align: center;background-color: #f1f1f1\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/tally-visit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7327\" alt=\"tally-visit\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/tally-visit.jpg\" width=\"740\" height=\"442\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<dl class=\"wp-caption alignright\" id=\"attachment_7327\" style=\"width: 750px\">\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\">All 47 student attendees, trip advisors, and SPC President Dr. Law<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<dl class=\"wp-caption alignright\" id=\"attachment_7329\" style=\"width: 539px\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\"><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<dl class=\"wp-caption alignright\" id=\"attachment_7334\" style=\"width: 240px\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Kenza-and-Robi-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7334       \" alt=\"Kenza and Robi 2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Kenza-and-Robi-2.jpg\" width=\"230\" height=\"251\" \/><\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"wp-caption alignright\" id=\"attachment_7334\" style=\"width: 309px\">\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\"><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7333\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7333\" style=\"width: 281px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Kenza-and-Dr-Law-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7333  \" alt=\"Kenza and Dr Law 2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Kenza-and-Dr-Law-2.jpg\" width=\"281\" height=\"223\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Law, Roberta Spathari, and Kenza Kadiri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7332\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7332\" style=\"width: 776px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Jasmine-and-Dobi2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7332   \" alt=\"Jasmine and Dobi2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Jasmine-and-Dobi2.jpg\" width=\"776\" height=\"522\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jasmine Shamsi and Abdolmohsen Dobi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Programs was thrilled to repeat the annual visit to Florida\u2019s state government seat at Tallahassee with Dr. Law on March 18 and 19, 2015.
