Global Business Seniors Tour the Port of Palm Beach

On November 4-5, 2009, our 48 Global Business Seniors went to the Port of Palm Beach for a tour of the import/export activities that occur at the Port. The tour was led by Mr. Carl Baker who works in the Business Development Division. The students first watched a PowerPoint presentation given by Mr. Baker where he shared with the students the history of the port, the current business activities, and the future growth plans. After the presentation, the students boarded the bus and toured the shipyard area, the sugar silo, and the cold storage warehouse where they went into the freezer, which was -10 degrees F! It was very educational and a great time was had by all! Our many thanks to the Port of Palm Beach for providing our Global Business Students with such a great opportunity!
