Arizona

It’s not just the landscapes, which take in tall mountain ranges,
swift rivers, grasslands, sand dunes and cactus forests. It’s not
just the storied past, which reaches back thousands of years.
It’s not just the people, a vibrant blend of cultures and
traditions. It’s all theses things, and the way they come
together, that make Arizona a truly unforgettable experience.

International Education Programs would like to share with you the
beauty, adventure, culture and history of the State of Arizona
located in the heart of the Old West.

Arizona’s capital city of
Phoenix and surrounding cities such as
Scottsdale (where SCC is located), Tempe (where Arizona State University is

million residents and encompassing more than 2,000 square miles,
it is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the U.S.
A journey becomes an adventure when you……

music scene,
going to the movies, and cheering our
sports teams.
……Discover Arizona Adventures and Tourism
in the Grand Canyon,
in
Monument Valley,
around the Red Rocks of
Sedona, and at
Arizona Parks.

When clouds swept the heavens,
vast shadows were cast; but so vast was the canyon that
these shadows seemed patches of
gray and purple and amber.
The dawn and the evening
twilight were brooding mysteries over the dusk of the
abyss; night shrouded; the
immensity but did not hide it,
and to none of the sons of men is it
given to tell the wonder and
splendor of sunrise and sunset in the
Grand Canyon.

Country! Monument Valley
In the house made of dawn, in the house made of the evening
twilight, in the house made of the dark cloud, ....with beauty all
around me, I walk.
