Greensboro, NC — A dedicated team of faculty, staff, and administrators from Bennett College, along with their partner institution Salem College, will embark on an enriching journey to Morocco this June. This four-week educational seminar will delve into the vital topics of women's rights, health, and cultural dynamics within Moroccan society.

Participants will engage in a comprehensive exploration of health equity, examining how cultural factors influence women's health outcomes in Morocco.
