Summer Adventures

Mizzou Kappas like to spend their summers taking advantage of opportunities that come their way- whether it be the chance to study abroad or gain experiences through internships. Here's a quick tour of some the places and things we have been doing this summer!!

This member of the 2008 Pledge Class (PC) studied how business in China is treated, handled, and valued through Mizzou's College of Business. She also did a lot of sight seeing, including the Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Terracotta Warriors, and the 2008 Olympic Village (above)!



This 2006 PC member (right) interned with Teach for America - Phoenix Institute, in Phoenix, Arizona. She trained teachers who will be placed in low-income area schools to close the achievement gap in our nation's education system. She happened to meet another Kappa from Bucknell during her internship (left)!



Interning at the TODAY show in NYC has been a wonderful experience for this Kappa (PC '06). Just a few of the perks of this internship are going to Katie Lee Grifford's house for a shoot and meeting the Black Eyed Peas!



These four members of PC '07 studied together in Florence, Italy. They were specifically studying the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle and spent several class days learning to cook Italian style!



This Kappa (PC '07, in white on right) interned at KYTX CBS 19 News in Tyler, Texas. She spent most of her time helping to produce "CBS 19 This Morning" (talent and crew pictured above) but also did a few stories of her own!



This member of PC '06 is studying abroad in Italy this summer. She also enjoyed visiting her Kappa sisters in London.



This Kappa (PC '07) is an intern with Warner Music Group. She has been busy catering to CEOs, Sales Managers, and musically-talented celebrities this summer in New York City.



Both of these girls (PC '06) studied abroad in London. The one on the left interned at CBS London Bureau. The girl on the right interned at NBC London Bureau and also managed to explore Paris, Alicante, Barcelona, Prague and Dublin. She made it her personal mission to photograph every fleur de lis she found.



This PC '06er spent the semester abroad in the coastal Spanish town of Alicante. In this photo, she's on a trip in Seville, Spain in the Plaza de España.
