USU Field Studies students experience
“international business in the
extreme” One could have argued that Mark Thomas went too far with this project. While it’s true that Thomas, the director of Field Studies, seems to have unrestrained confidence in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business students he works with, sometimes he lines up some unusually challenging projects for them. He called this job “international business in the extreme.” This Field Studies project had a team of students traveling to Egypt to help the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) prepare trainers who would be coming into Cairo from dozens of countries. The trainers would be expected, in turn, to train those they work with on proper USAID accounting procedures.
