Here and There—CMU Opportunities to Study Abroad

Intro:  Rotarian Amber Freeman 

Topic:  Many students enter higher education dreaming of the possibilities of studying in an exotic international location –- examining flora and fauna in the Amazon or witty banter over coffee in the Sorbonne. Unfortunately, these dream bubbles are popped by the economic pin of “I can’t afford to do that…” CMU students from every major have the chance to pursue those dreams for the same price as staying on campus – and opening spots for students from around the globe to come to Grand Junction. 

Bio:  Here to speak about the program is Dr. Timothy Hatten, CMU Study Abroad Coordinator.  Dr. Hatten has been on faculty at CMU for 21 years.  In that time, his book Small Business Management has become one of the top selling college texts on the market and is sold in more than 30 countries. He stays in touch with the entrepreneurial spirit by working closely with the Business Incubator Center in Grand Junction. Hatten became a Fulbright Scholar award recipient in 2001, teaching at Reykjavik University in Iceland, and again in 2011, teaching and working with the student incubator at Niels Brock Copenhagen Business School in Denmark. Dr. Hatten started the first Study Abroad program on CMU campus in 2010.  He has had the opportunity to teach aspiring entrepreneurs in several countries and has taken CMU students on extensive tours of businesses across China and Europe.
