STUDY ABROAD RETURNS

After a two-year hiatus, York College of Pennsylvania students have returned to exploring the globe through international travel and study-abroad experiences. From riding camels in Morocco to hiking the Samaria Gorge in Greece, the College’s short-term study abroad program has given students the opportunity to learn and grow beyond the campus.

David Fyfe, Ph.D., has been leading international student trips since 2008 and traveled with students to both of those Mediterranean countries.

“Traveling abroad gives students a connection to a place that makes them more curious,” Dr. Fyfe says. “It makes them want to learn more about the people and places and can be transformational to students.

“So many of us are very proud to be Spartans. We know we have grit. We know we have skill. We know we work hard and we have fun. We have something special that binds us: that strong Spartan spirit that can be seen in all we do.”
