Camille Gordon Studies in Greece with Centre College

2012 Mar 21

Camille Gordon of Louisville, a junior at Centre College, spent three weeks studying in Greece during the College's unique winter term.

Gordon was one of 28 students who studied and traveled for a course titled Drama and Mathematics in Ancient Greece, directed by Matthew Hallock, professor of dramatic arts, and Alex McAllister, associate professor of mathematics. During class trips to Athens, Epidavros, Delphi, Samos and Delos, students learned how the people of ancient Greece used drama and mathematics as ways to process and understand their changing world, and how they created many fundamental elements and practices that continue to influence the modern world.

Gordon is the daughter of Stewart Gordon of Louisville and is a graduate of Bullitt East High School.
