My time abroad has shown me how different the world is from Eugene to UO, full of both the familiar and the unexpected. These differences have helped me understand not only Greece, but my own identity as I navigate new spaces.

Hello, Athens!

Lane throws their "O" outside in Athens

Kalimera from Athens, Greece! My name is Lane Abraham (they/them), and I am a senior Educational Foundations major in the College of Education. I am a Eugene native, born and raised. Through this Diverse Duck Ambassador experience, I want to highlight what it's like to travel as a Queer and Non-Binary person. I chose Studio Art in Athens specifically to challenge myself as a queer educator who wants to teach using project-based learning (PBL), where students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects.
