An online information session will be held at noon on Friday, March 1. Join the Center for Undergraduate Global Engagement, as we discuss the Summer 2024 Mediterranean Humanities in Athens seminar. Panelists will include the following:
- Konstantina Zanou, associate professor of Italian, director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of Italian; and
- Nikolas P. Kakkoufa, lecturer of Modern Greek, director of Undergraduate Studies, Hellenic Studies Program.
Students participating in this seminar take Athens, Greece, as a vantage point to explore the multiple ways this body of water has been imagined by the people who lived or traveled across its shores. In this one-week seminar, students will immerse themselves in the history and culture of Athens and its environs through a combination of lectures, guided museum visits, educational walks, field trips and hands-on workshops.
Through generous funding from the Columbia Global Centers and the Global Learning Scholarship, the program fee has been reduced to $1,300. Program housing will be provided and included in the program fee. Additional funding may be available for highly qualified and committed candidates. Applicants will have an opportunity to indicate financial need in their application. Because the program fee is already reduced for all participants, additional funding is limited.
