Join Mike Ilitch School of Business Assistant Professor Hugo Angelo De Campos for a spring break study abroad adventure to Brazil, March 8-19, 2018. The deadline to apply is Nov. 15.
You'll earn three credits while:
- Experiencing one of the most resource-rich countries in the world, while increasing your knowledge and appreciation of sustainability in global supply chains, Brazilian culture, history and the Brazilian auto industry.
- Visiting Rio De Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Manaus, cities with vibrant cultures, history and landscapes that include Sugar Loaf Mountain and the Amazon. Take in professional soccer, a jungle tour and more!
- Meeting with university students in both Rio and Sao Paulo studying supply chain management
In Rio de Janeiro, you will visit a logistics operation, a local university and see the iconic cultural sights of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Corcovado, all while staying in a beach-side hotel.
In São Paul, known as Brazil's economic engine, you will visit a local university, numerous companies related to the Brazilian auto industry and will also visit Santos, the busiest seaport in South America.
The trip's final stop is Manaus, a city built in the middle of the Amazon rainforest and one of the largest Free Trade Zones in South America. In addition to company visits in Manaus, you will also participate in a professionally-led jungle tour where you can witness firsthand one of Earth's most fragile and important natural resources.
De Campos is a dual USA/Brazil citizen and is fluent in Portuguese.
