We had more than a dozen students in London studying in our British Studies Program, offered through Southern Miss' terrific Center for International Studies. I've taught the Introduction to British Journalism class for ten years, so it was a particular joy to see so many Honors College students in the program this summer.
To celebrate the end of the program, I took our students to dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant near our dorm near Waterloo Station. The students were full of stories about their classes, which, while based in London, traveled everywhere from Normandy to Scotland to Brussels to places in between.
At left Stuart Lovinggodd and Jaime McKercher clown around at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich. Below are the three of us on the Hungerford footbridge off Westminster as we walk to the dock for a boat ride down the Thames River. At bottom our Honors College students line up for a picture just a few hundred yards from our dorm. You'll note that St. Paul's Cathedral is close by in the background; it's walking distance!
