Chile program to continue despite earthquake
UPDATE: The HULA group now plans to leave Tuesday, March 9, due to continued airport closures.
Students and faculty members who are scheduled to leave Tuesday to study a semester in Chile will continue with their plans despite the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that killed more than 300 people Saturday morning, according to university officials.
Harding University in Latin America (HULA) exists on a campus in Viña del Mar, Chile, a seaside resort city located about 100 miles north of the epicenter of Saturday's earthquake. Viña del Mar is about 70 miles northwest of Santiago, the capital of Chile.
