Friday, March 13, 2009 - Basel, Switzerland

Friday the 13th is also unlucky in Switzerland.  However, we had a good day.  We visited Novartis, a major global health care and pharmaceutical company.  We learned a tremendous amount about Novartis and the health care industry, enjoyed a great discussion with Doktor Stephan Mumenthaler, the head of Economic Affairs at Novartis. We toured their facilities and were the company's guests for a delicious lunch.  We are all planning on sending our resumes in!

In the afternoon, we took a tour that covered the commercial history of Basel, and walked throughout the old city.  Tomorrow, we leave for Strasbourg, stopping at the Struthof Concentration Camp (the only one that was on French soil) and then on to a tour of the Alsatian wine region.  The weather is turning better and the students continue to be in a positive mood.
