The LOC On the Move organization hosted an engaging trip to Egypt this winter, where a group of students, faculty, staff, administration, and alumni visited historic landmarks and deepened their study of Egyptian history. LeMoyne-Owen College (LOC) remains committed to delivering a transformative liberal arts education and experiences, and this recent excursion to Egypt strengthened historical and cultural learning for many from our campus and community.
LOC On the Move is led by Dr. James Mock from the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, in partnership with Dr. Alexis Griggs, Division Chair of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, Sociology, and Social Science; Peggy Lee, and Dr. Lisa Lang, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
In Egypt, sometimes referred to as “the Gift of the Nile,” the trip’s cohort visited Salah El-Din Citadel, the Valley of Kings, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Egyptian Pharaohs Mentuhotep and Rameses III. The group also explored the Great Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, the Nile, the Red Sea, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and more sites.
With state-of-the-art academic programming, a vibrant campus community, and an unwavering commitment to student success, LeMoyne-Owen College continues to be the source of Black excellence, preparing graduates to lead in a competitive world.
