Marcy Yeager

Setting your sights on vacation can be hard when high costs come in to play — but traveling the world doesn’t have to break the bank.

Equipped with the right tips and tools, you can potentially save thousands in travel expenses, according to Marcy Yeager, executive director of PK-12 partnerships and international studies at Northern Essex Community College. Through her upcoming lecture “Jet Setting 101: you can see the world on a budget,” Yeager, a travel enthusiast, will share a variety of means through which anyone can make vacations more affordable – from breaking flights down into segments, to signing up for tour-based language courses, to eating local, and much more.

The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 26 at the Reuben Hoar Library, 41 Shattuck Street, Littleton, MA. Please register online.

Marcy Yeager holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Northeastern University and a Master of Science degree from the University of New Hampshire. Prior to assuming her current role, Yeager served as professor of natural sciences and later as chair of the NECC natural sciences department.
