Please join us for this virtual information session to learn more about the Columbia Summer Global Core in Athens: Ancient and Modern Olympics program. This Global Core course takes Athens as a vantage point to introduce you to classical sport and spectacle through the lenses of literature, geography, and material culture and to consider how sport has shaped political identity, social values, and cultural memory, questions that remain relevant to our understanding of the modern Olympic and Paralympic games today.

This program is offered by Columbia Global, the Center for Undergraduate Global Engagement, and the Athens Global Center, which generously funds flights and housing for students participating in this program.

Even if you are not able to attend live, please register for the session as we will be recording and sending to those who register.
