DBU REPORT 16 Each year, DBU provides students with travel study trips and mission opportunities that take them around the country and globe. This Fall, after having to postpone trips in 2020 because of the pandemic, classes were back on as the Gary Cook School of Leadership, Baptist Student Ministry, and College of Business offered three informative, insightful, and challenging Fall Break trips to students. Revolutionary Leadership Dr. David Cook, Dean of Global Studies and PreProfessional Studies, and Dr. Jodi Grimes, Associate Professor of English, led the short-term travel course to Boston, Massachusetts, this year. “I love leading this trip because it truly helps history come alive for students,” said Dr. Cook. “I think these trips are unique opportunities to help students get outside their comfort zones to see how God is working across the world.” While in Boston, the group attended church at the Old North Church, toured Harvard University, visited Carson Nature Preserve, sailed the Historic Boston Harbor Cruise, toured Waldon Pond, and visited many other historical landmarks. “Being in the place where the Revolution actually started was a surreal experience for me,” said student Taylor Gee. “It further solidified my love of history, but also helped give me more insight into the Revolutionary time period, a time I haven’t studied as in depth as others.” Beyond the Classroom
