Walden Educational Travel Programs

Alumni, students, faculty and friends can make their next international trip a true learning experience through the Walden Alumni Travel Program, which pairs Walden visitors with local experts. Beyond enjoying the sights and sounds of a new city, Walden travelers will have an opportunity to learn about the history, people and culture that make their destination world-class.

Each trip is designed for the Walden community, catering to diverse interests and a desire to experience new cultures. Walden's next trips are "Chianti in a Tuscan Villa," June 21-29, 2009, and "Athens and the Island of Poros," October 16-25, 2009. To reserve your space, or to learn about additional upcoming trips, please contact Alumni Holidays at 1-800-323-7373.
