Give us a brief summary of your experience?

I spent three months in Athens, Greece during the spring semester taking classes about the art, archaeology, and rhetoric of Ancient Greece. We visited many historical sites, such as Delphi, Olympia, Knossos, and Mycenae

How did this experience impact you academically?

Since the classes were discussion-based, I feel I was able to hone my discussion skills and become more adept at articulating my thoughts.

"I am very grateful that I was eligible for the enrichment funding as it is the reason I was able to learn, make friends, and grow on this trip."

How will this experience impact your career goals?

This experience was very relevant to my career goals because I am pursuing a Master of Arts in Museum Studies at Syracuse University beginning in Fall 2022. On this trip, we have visited countless museums, large and small, and I can't wait to apply my new knowledge about museums in the future.

How has the College of the Liberal Arts helped you to find and/or succeed in this experience (e.g., adviser, faculty, staff, enrichment funds, etc.)?

Without the enrichment funding awarded by the College of the Liberal Arts' Career Enrichment Network, I would not have been able to have this experience, as the cost would have hindered me. I am very grateful that I was eligible for the enrichment funding as it is the reason I was able to learn, make friends, and grow on this trip.
