WVWC student travels to Peru

Michael Jean-Bapiste

BUCKHANNON– West Virginia Wesleyan College senior Michael Jean-Baptiste’s spring plans included a summer international travel experience in Ecuador to study health care systems in that country.

When the paperwork arrangements in Ecuador created a travel blockade, the West Palm Beach, Florida, native was able to substitute a trip instead to Peru. The experience he gained in the country served to reinforce his aspirations of pursuing a career in medicine.

Baptiste, who is a nursing major at Wesleyan, was afforded the summer travel opportunity through the college’s Dr. Harold T. Elmore Emeritus Club International Travel Scholarship.
