Ethiopia Findings

A group of 27 students and faculty traveled to Gondar, Ethiopia, in January as part of the Study Abroad Program. The 10-day study tour featured nine Montgomery College students conducting research on Ethiopia and presenting their findings before faculty and students at the University of Gondar. Other highlights of the tour included visiting the National Museum in Addis Ababa to view Lucy, the oldest human remains, and participating in the Timkat Festival, considered the country’s most colorful, vibrant festival. (Timkat, in Amharic, means “baptism.”)
