WFU students in Chile present research to Provost Kersh

honorsprogram.300x175Wake Forest students studying in Chile this semester were given the opportunity this week to present the results of their independent research projects to Provost Rogan Kersh, their Chilean professors and others.  Kersh flew to Santiago, Chile, to attend a research symposium where the presentations were made and to be provided an overview of Wake Forest’s many activities in Chile.

The students are participating in Wake Forest’s newest study abroad program in Latin America, “Wake Forest University Chile: Honors Semester.”  In a seminar and tutorial setting with intensive individual instruction and class work, students are able to achieve the honors in Latin American and Latino Studies designation in one semester.

The program also includes travel and excursions, including a trip to Cuzco, Peru, and the archaeological site at Machu Picchu.
