Dr. Cárdenas is
spending two months in Aruba as part a student/teacher international exchange collaborative between
the University of South Carolina and the University of Aruba. This great opportunity
allows Dr. Cárdenas to share his
expertise with young and promising hospitality students. Dr. Cárdenas teaches class every day from 9am-4pm,
Monday through Friday. Classes are going
well. The students are working hard and currently working with four companies
on the island, helping them improve their tourism product and hopefully making
their products more sustainable. This week, Dr. Cárdenas
began evening seminar sessions with the tourism industry and began collecting industry
data on knowledge, trust and power for a research project. He is also helping one student with her thesis focused on the importance-performance of the road signage on
the island. While his schedule is extremely rigorous, he still has time to
engage in outdoor activities such as snorkeling, swimming, biking, and cheering
on the gamecocks!
