First Interim Meeting - 1/5/12

Yesterday was our first independent studies interim meeting. We discussed our projects and shared ideas. I learned that the Milliken Faculty Trip was going to be in Brazil this year. I could talk to some faculty members about their trip to Brazil as possible sources. I also heard from another student that in his home town, Woodlands, Texas, there is a two week period in the summer when locals don't shop because all the malls are packed with Brazilians. I might want to research where Brazilians are going in the United States to shop. I also thought I might want to research what is changing in the United States that might make Brazilians want to come here. At the end of our meeting we set up our next meeting times for the month. I am ready to get started on my research!
