The travel course to Greece, titled “Greece: Cultural Center of the Ancient Mediterranean World,” will include academic excursions in Athens, Corinth, and Crete, as well as visits to ancient historical sites, such as the Parthenon and the Sanctuary of Apollo. Students will also have the opportunity to visit archaeological sites in Mycenae and Ancient Nemea where, in Greek mythology, Heracles overcame the Nemean Lion. “I am so excited to immerse myself in the culture of Greece,” said Maleah Culp ’24, a double major in criminal justice and psychology. “I feel like going to Greece with already having knowledge about ancient Greece will make the trip so much more meaningful. When I see something from ancient times, I will be able to appreciate it more than before I took this class.” The travel course this summer will ultimately give students the chance to learn more about Greece as a cultural center, as well as the chance to cultivate their own global perspectives. When asked about what she looks forward to the most, Kaitlyn Sheriff ’24, an astrophysics major and computational science minor, said, “I feel that I am very lucky to have this opportunity to travel. I have never been out of the country, and I am most excited to see the sights and spend time with my friends.” “Looking forward to next year, we are excited to offer a full array of Lycoming faculty-led programs and are optimistic that students who weren’t able to go earlier or who didn’t feel comfortable traveling will again participate in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study abroad,” Holladay continued.
