Summer Session '08 participant Mindy Wolfrom describes her six-week tour of the best of archaeological Greece. As she explains, it's not "just" about the ruins. Through the students' varied backgrounds and a series of thought-provoking onsite discussions by their leader Gerald Lalonde and others, she gained an understanding of ancient Greece through a modern lens.
