Local resident to spend semester in Athens, Greece
SEARCY, Ark. — Local resident Autumn Dixon of Vilonia left Jan. 17 to spend a four-month semester living outside of Athens while studying at Harding University in Greece (HUG).
As part of the HUG curriculum, Dixon, a junior child life major, will spend the semester immersed in Greek culture. Past semesters have had the opportunity to visit places such as holy sites in Israel and Turkey, ancient ruins of Egypt, Petra in Jordan and the islands of the eastern Mediterranean. Travel during the program is given a biblical emphasis.
Students in the program have a full course load available to them taught by visiting Harding professors, who also travel with the students. The classes encourage exploration and interaction among the people of Greece.
