Andrew Rogan ’10, Cristina Garafola ’11, and 13 students from colleges across the country participated this summer in the Hamilton-run Associated Colleges in China (ACC) Field Studies Program. The program aims to provide American undergraduates with opportunities to interact with rural children and educators in China in order to further advance their cultural understanding and improve their language proficiency.

Along with classmates from more than 20 other colleges and universities, Hamilton students currently studying abroad with the Associated Colleges in China (ACC) program recently traveled to Xi’an, one of the four ancient capitals of China. In addition to viewing the Terracotta Warriors, one of China’s most famous attractions, students also had the chance to explore the Muslim Quarter, an area of the city made distinctive more than 1000 years ago by Xi’an’s status as the eastern starting point of the Silk Road.

Students of Professor Sharon Rivera's Comparative Politics (Government 112) classes and members of the Hamilton community participated in a mock debate and election exercise involving six political parties campaigning for the parliamentary elections of West Europa on April 21.
