Students part of the Study Abroad Program left early Wednesday morning for Europe and Latin America.
Thirty-six students will be traveling to Oxford and 22 students will be going to Montevideo for the fall semester.
It is more difficult to recruit students for the Study Abroad Program for the fall semester because students usually do not want to leave during the semester pledging takes place said Lauren Graham, Study Abroad coordinator.
But sometimes, it doesn't take much to recruit students.
For Bryce Powell, senior interdisciplinary studies
major from Abilene, this semester will be his second time studying abroad at ACU. His sophomore year he traveled to Montevideo in the spring, and this fall he will be in Oxford.
"The first time I studied abroad, it was great," said Powell.
Powell has worked closely with Dan McVey, missions coordinator for Africa, who will be one of the professors teaching in Oxford this fall.
"He's helped me out a lot with my major, and when I found out he was going, I talked to him about it, and decided I wanted to study abroad again," said Powell.
Those studying abroad had a three-day check- in session from Monday through Wednesday. Tuesday during Chapel, Dr. Royce Money, president of the university, acknowledged the students studying abroad and prayed a blessing over them.
Dr. Rhonda Collier, on-site director, and Dr. Autumn Sutherlin, assistant professor of chemistry, will be teaching in Latin America. Dr. Ron Morgan, resident director, and his wife, will be joining McVey to teach students traveling abroad to Europe.
