Partnership with Harlaxton College opens ‘a gateway to global education’ for Lindsey Wilson students and faculty.
COLUMBIA, KY. (05/27/2025) An Adair County student participated in a study-abroad experience at Lindsey Wilson College.
Emma Couch ’27, a psychology and Spanish double-major from Columbia, was one of 15 Lindsey Wilson students selected to travel to the United Kingdom in May as part of an immersive study-abroad program at Harlaxton College, an experience that combined academic exploration, cultural exchange and personal growth.
During their nine days abroad, students visited the historic cities of London, Lincoln, York and Cambridge while based at Harlaxton. Harlaxton is a Victorian manor and the University of Evansville’s study-abroad center, located in Grantham, England, which is about three hours north of London.
Beyond sightseeing, the program served a deeper purpose: introducing students to global learning experiences that build cultural awareness, personal confidence and academic growth.
