Dear parents, family, and friends of the students:<\/h2>\n

Please check the Home page on the detailed potential itinerary<\/a>, estimated costs<\/a>, and FAQ<\/a>\u00a0of this course. Below is the information to address the very common concerns from family and friends.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact the instructor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text: safety” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Safety is our No. 1 priority of a faculty-led travel course at WCU. All students will be well advised throughout the entire trip. A safety protocol will be followed and provided to traveling students prior to the trip. The food choices will be healthy, the lodging locations will be safe, and the physical activities will be moderate.<\/p>\n

We will also constantly monitor any alert or warning messages<\/a> published by the US Department of State.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Header Text: time difference” _builder_version=”3.17.3″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” custom_padding=”10px|||” border_style=”solid” background_color_gradient_start=”#c1a875″ background_color_gradient_end=”#c1a875″]<\/p>\n

Time difference and jet lag<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text: time difference” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Honduras is 1 hour behind of the US Eastern time zone, however they do not observe daylight savings and so summer trips have a 2 hour difference (e.g. Mountain Time Zone).<\/p>\n

When the students get back to NC from Honduras, a slight jet lag adjustment needs to happen. It is very normal. We also advise students regarding reverse culture shock waiting for them upon their return.<\/p>\n
