A fertile intellectual culture—Four students at Birmingham-Southern got a chance to expand their personal and professional experience this summer through the British Studies at Oxford program in Oxford, England. For six weeks, the students lived and dined in the historic buildings of St. John's College, which is a constituent college of Oxford University. They attended lectures and seminars covering visual arts and architecture, literature, politics, science, religion, and music during the Enlightenment period, from the late 17th to the early 19th century—all for academic credit. The students also toured notable sites throughout England and Europe. Pictured in the Garden Quad at St. John’s College are (from left) Jenny Lewis, a junior; Kate Massey, a senior; Olivia Hayes, a junior; and Anne Wood, a senior. The students received scholarships from Birmingham-Southern and matching funds from the British Studies at Oxford program to help fund their travel. They were accompanied by BSC Professor of English Dr. John Tatter.
