London Experience Information Meeting at 3pm on Wednesday, Sept 6

The English Department has overhauled its Spring-semester London Experience, which now partners with Queen Mary, University of London, a high-ranking university with a lively campus in a hip part of London and the most diverse student body in the country.

Student take two courses with Villanova professor Dr. Lauren Shohet: "Writing/Literature" (which can count either as a Core Literature and Writing Seminar or as an elective) and "Shakespeare in London: From the Globe to Virtual Reality," which will include trips to see performances at theaters throughout the city. In addition, students take three courses at Queen Mary, choosing from a range of offerings in Film, History, Sociology, Art History, Politics, and International Relations. 

For more information, visit the department website here.

The program is open to Sophomores and Juniors. 

An information meeting about the program is being held on Wednesday, September 6 at 3.00pm in SAC 402. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Harry Gibney, the International Student Exchange Program Manager at Queen Mary in London. Tea and scones will be served!
