[Intl-stu] Galveston Island trip in July- What Where When and How

[International Students]

The ISSO is planning to host a weekend trip for all A&M-Commerce
international students to Galveston Island from Friday, July 19 to
Sunday, July 21.  We will depart from Commerce on Friday, July 19 and
return to Commerce on Sunday, July 21 in the evening.   All
international students are invited on the trip and the anticipated cost
for the trip is $100 which includes transportation and hotel for two
nights (4 students per room) across from the beach.    The tentative
itinerary will include a two night stay (Friday and Saturday night) in

tentatively stopping at one of the Houston area shopping malls on the
return trip Sunday.   For more information and attractions in Galveston
