Jenna Smith of Success departed in February to spend a three-month semester living in Chile while studying at Harding University in Latin America.

As part of the HULA curriculum, Smith, a junior social work major, has been living on the program campus in Vina del Mar, a seaside resort located near Santiago, Chile. Smith has been spending the semester immersed in Latin and South American culture.

Students in past semesters have had the opportunity to travel to places such as Easter Island, the Lake District of Chile, and Machu Picchu in Peru. The program emphasizes the ruggedness of South America with excursions to the Amazon Rainforest and the Atacama Desert region.

Students in the program have a full course load available to them taught by visiting Harding professors who travel with the students. The classes will focus on the Spanish language, culture and South American history.

Harding is the largest private university in Arkansas with 6,815 students and attracts more National Merit Scholars than any other private university in the state. Harding also maintains campuses in Australia, England, France, Greece, Italy and Zambia. For more information visitwww.harding.edu/international.
