What are our students up to this November?

There are only three weeks left of the semester – which is hard to believe! November is a busy time of year at DIS. Current students have gone on week-long Study Tours, visited unique companies and organizations on Field Studies, and are now preparing for final assignments.

Check out some of the DIS Student Bloggers latest posts to see what they’ve been up to this month:
