I remember the day like it was yesterday. As a troubled (yet determined) college freshman without a declared major, I walked into the office of Dr. Rundle – the man who would eventually solve my undeclared problem (aka: the faculty advisor for International Business majors at Biola).
“Why would I want to be an International Business major?” I asked.
The clincher that determined International Business as the major for me was Dr. Rundle’s response:
“The International Business Institute.” he said.
It’s a summer study-abroad type program, where college students from different universities across America join to visit 10+ countries in Europe, study corporations and businesses, and take 12 credits-worth of classes during a fantastic summer-long trip. It’s not something International Business majors are forced to do, but definitely an incredible opportunity.
So… (long story short) 2 ½ years later, here I am--an International Business major in Europe during the first week of a dream program: the International Business Institute.
Provided I have internet access, my plan is to post one blog per country/big-city, each with a few pics and a favorite memory. Ergo, this blog is:
To be continued…
First stop: Vilnius, Lithuania

My memory is a little different. I don't remember IBI being my immediate response to your question, although it definitely was the point when you perked up. :-) Hope it proves to be everything you were hoping it would be. See you in Geneva! Steve R.
