Past Study Abroad Experience:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Summer 2022 – American School of Classical Studies at Athens<\/p>\n

\u201cTraveling abroad and exploring Greece changed me as a person. I\u2019ve lived most of my life in Connecticut, but after being in Greece for an intense two and a half weeks, I\u2019ve learned that I\u2019m stronger and more resilient than I thought and that I can adapt to new situations. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to go to Greece and learn about the classics! I have made new realizations about myself and the direction I want my life to go academically, new friendships, and have broadened my understanding of biology through the context of ancient Greece. I am so excited for future WCSU students to be able to go to Greece for their educational and personal growth.\u201d \u2013 Charlee Cordle, Summer 2022<\/p>\n
