A group of Hollins University alumni visited Egypt on a trip organized in collaboration with our U.S. partners, Orbridge. The 20-guests group was accompanied by Ms. Anita Watson and Professor Ashleigh Breske. Their itinerary included visits to the historical sites of Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, along with a Nile cruise aboard traditional dahabiyas. During the 12-day journey, held from October 6th to 18th, a series of lectures were delivered onboard (summaries attached). Enclosed are a letter from Professor Ashley reflecting on the visit, summaries of the 2 lectures given by her during the trip, and brief bios of Ms. Anita Watson and Professor Ashley Breske.
