On one of their last days in China this past August, Kate Harrison and four other students in the College of Engineering visited the Great Wall of China and, like many other students studying abroad, took a picture with a Marquette flag. Unlike others, their time halfway across the globe had an extra Marquette twist.
As the group walked down the wall, they unexpectedly met Rob Judson, Marquette basketball’s special assistant to the head coach. He was finishing a two week camp called AthletesInAction, an organization dedicated to the intersection of sports and Christianity.
“We visited the Great Wall, and of course wore our Marquette gear, and I brought my Marquette flag to take some pictures for the college and for (the Study Abroad Office),” Harrison said in a Facebook message.
