Cultural immersion in Great Britain—A group of 12 Birmingham-Southern students stepped outside the familiar this summer to immerse themselves in a different world. They attended the 41st session of the British Studies at Oxford summer program at St. John's College in Oxford, England, during which they engaged in six weeks of study for two or three units of credit. Students lived and dined in the 16th-century buildings of St. John's College and went to lectures and seminars covering the arts, history, literature, science, and philosophy of the program's topic for this year "Early and Medieval Britain: From Roman 'Britainnia' to the Coming of the Tudors." Their studies were integrated with weekend trips to British museums, monuments, and heritage sites. The students are pictured taking a break from their studies at a Pizza Express on the upper floor of a 16th-century building in Oxford. On the front row (from left) are Vik Agarwal, Rob Heinke, Dr. Susan Hagen, Jordan Whetstone, Charlsie Wigley, and Russ Norris; on the second row (from left) are Simone Schicker, Rachael Jones, Emma Dortch, Rob NeSmith, Tom Swain, Lilla Goodwyn, and Jenny Speir. Hagen, who is Mary Collett Munger Professor of English at BSC and Harrison Honors Program director, taught in the Oxford program this summer.
