Ashley Reeling of York Spending Semester in Greece

2015 Jan 16

Ashley Reeling of York, Pa. is one of 21 Lebanon Valley College students studying away for the spring 2015 semester. Reeling is spending the semester in Greece as part of the College's study abroad program, which includes 12 foreign countries and two stateside internship opportunities.

This program offers all majors an education at the Athens Centre, which is located in the same part of Athens where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896. This program is especially designed for students interested in learning about the origin of European culture, which strongly influences our American society today. The Athens Program offers an opportunity to explore those origins with the support and guidance of a strong academic focus.

Reeling, a graduate of York Suburban Senior High School, is pursuing a bachelor of science in psychology at The Valley.

The College is in the process of developing a handful of new short-term programs that would make it easier for busy students to study off-campus. This spring, two new course-embedded programs were offered in Italy and England. By the time they graduate, nearly 20 percent of LVC students will have spent time studying and traveling abroad, experiences that will shape and inform the rest of their lives as global citizens.
