We were honored to host an academic collaboration with Semester at Sea (SAS), welcoming students from Harvard University and the University of Colorado. The session was supported by our committed team, including faculty members Lekshmi C and Divya Tomy Kattikaran, along with five student volunteers. This engagement provided a valuable platform for cross-cultural learning, academic exchange, and global collaboration. Both Lekshmi and Divya served as invited resource persons for the international programme Semester at Sea (2025). They delivered a lecture on “Consumer Insights: Unveiling Buying Habits and Market Trends,” sharing key perspectives on global consumer behavior. An insightful field visit was also organized and led by them, offering practical exposure to the visiting students. The programme fostered meaningful academic connections and was a truly enriching experience for all participants.
