Orientation
Upon arrival, a coordinator orients students to local customs and traditions, health and safety issues. Visits are arranged to possible independent study project locations. The last day of the program will be used for Close of Program Session - a period in which the participant can reflect upon his/her experiences and discuss with the coordinator how Passage has challenged and enriched his/her life.

“To hear the trials and triumphs, to understand the religion and culture from their point of view, to eat their amazing food and to learn their language is an experience that no book can explain, no words can describe.  I thank my host family from the bottom of my heart for their openness, hospitality, history, and for including me in their story."
- Leah, Tibetan Summer 2006
