Lehigh students traveled the world this past summer embarking on research and engaging in study outside the classroom, including to Sicily, Denmark and Uganda. Led by Nik Nikolov, associate professor of art, architecture and design, and Emeritus Professor Anthony Viscardi, 18 students spent five weeks immersed in the art, architecture and culture of Sicily, visiting important sites that included Mount Etna. The cultural immersion provided a foundation for the coursework that followed.
In Denmark, the Martindale Student Associates Honors Program spent 12 days on a research trip for in-depth study and fact gathering. They toured sites in and around Copenhagen, including the Copenhill Power Plant. In Uganda, Kelly Austin, professor of sociology, traveled with 13 students to the Bududa District to conduct research, engage in internships with the Pathways Development Initiative and continue to develop relationships from previous trips with those in the Bududa community.
