Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece

Home Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece

For his first international trip, Stephen was in Greece for almost a month. He worked for the Canadian Broadcasting Company due to a connection through a professor at Asbury College. Stephen worked evening shift and toured around Attica during the Olympics. Before and after the Games, he and Joel Claes were able to visit an island and Ancient Olympia. Over 50 Media Communication students from Asbury college were able to work at the 2004 Olympics.
