Professor Luz Nagle recently visited the Port of Tampa with students in her International Business Transactions class to observe delivery of goods firsthand.

“This was a unique opportunity for our foreign students to see how what we are learning in class is applied to industry and commerce,” said Professor Nagle.

Students visited the port with the professor, saw the forklifts used to move the goods that impact risks and responsibilities, and toured the facilities by boat.

The class discussed matters concerning the shipment of goods, including the duties and obligations of sellers and buyers to a contract of sale relating to the delivery of tangible goods sold overseas, as well as the roles and responsibilities of maritime carriers.
