English On the Road

E-mail photos to Prof. Evan Radcliffe (evan.radcliffe@villanova.edu) or Prof. Michael Berthold (michael.berthold@villanova.edu), or tweet to @VUEnglish; use the hashtag #VUEnglishWorld.

If you don’t yet have a shirt, we’ve received a new batch.  You can buy one for just $10 from the English department.
