Meet your New England College faculty travel leaders, Inez McDermott and Cindi Nadelman. If you have any questions about the Ireland and England tour, please contact Inez or Cindi at IMcDermott@nec.edu or CNadelman@nec.edu.

Inez McDermott, Associate Professor of Art History Before joining the college in 2000, Inez worked in art museums and curated exhibitions throughout New England.  She believes that students cannot have a full understanding of the art works that they study in class without experiencing them in person.  Therefore, field trips to museums are an important part of any class with Inez.   She has taken three groups of students, faculty, alumni and friends to cities and sites in Europe since 2006. Inez hopes to make these trips an annual event and to expand these trips to  include as many members of the NEC community as possible.

Cindi Nadelman, Associate Professor, Business Professor Cindi Nadelman has been teaching at New England College since 2001. Cindi believes travel courses help NEC students gain a special awareness of global connections and cultural diversity.  The best way to experience any culture is to see it, breathe the air, hear the sounds, and interact with the local population. These trips to Europe allow faculty to work with students in a more relaxed environment, while also providing students with a unique opportunity to meet and interact with alumni.
