Adams named new director for Harding study-abroad program in Greece
SEARCY — Daniel Adams has been named the new director of the Harding University in Greece international studies program. He is currently professor and chair of the department of art and design. Adams first became involved with the university’s study-abroad programs in 1996 when he led a group of students participating in the Harding University in Florence, Italy, program.
“Both Meagan and I fell in love with traveling alongside students in every program we’ve been privileged to be a part of,” Adams said. “My first recollection of deliberately thinking about directing a program happened in the summer of 2004 at HUG. I promptly forgot about that as teaching in the department of art and design and being an active artist have taken much of my time.” Adams joined the Harding University staff in 1991, teaching graphic design and printmaking.
As director of HUG, Adams will oversee dayto-day operations of the program and supervise faculty and students as classes are conducted and they explore the country. His wife, Meagan, will resign from her position as CFO of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and join Harding as assistant director for the Greece program.
Adams attended Stephen F. Austin University, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in advertising design, a Master of Arts degree in painting and a Master of Fine Arts in printmaking. The Adamses will make the journey to Greece in May to prepare for the summer 2019 study-abroad group.
