Students Abroad

On August 29, 2011, ninety-one University of Evansville students began classes at Harlaxton College, UE's British campus housed in a 120-room Victorian manor near Grantham, England. They are among 139 total students spending the Fall 2011 semester at Harlaxton.

"For 40 years, studying at Harlaxton College has been a definitive part of the University of Evansville experience. Where else can students live and study in a grand manor house, travel throughout the United Kingdom and Europe on weekends, and form lasting ties with local residents?" said Earl Kirk, director of study abroad at the University of Evansville. "We’re thrilled to provide this life-transforming educational experience, and we wish all of the Fall 2011 Harlaxton students a semester of learning, discovery, and growth."

The Harlaxton curriculum features a six-hour core course, The British Experience, which offers an interdisciplinary introduction to British life and culture. Literature, art history, economics, history, and political science are part of the course, which combines lectures, seminars, and field trips to locations such as Lincoln and London. In addition to The British Experience, students enroll in a range of classes in the liberal arts and pre-professional studies. 

Optional weekend trips to destinations such as London, Paris, Ireland, Wales, and the Lake District in northern England provide students with opportunities to engage the culture in Britain and beyond. While at Harlaxton, students may participate in the popular Meet-a-Family program, athletics, and other activities.

Harlaxton College’s British faculty is supplemented by visiting faculty members from American institutions. For the Fall 2011 semester, students and visiting faculty come from 13 U.S. colleges and universities, in addition to the University of Evansville.

Aside from the ninety-one students studying at Harlaxton, there are a number of students traveling in other countries as well:

• Brenna Blazis is studying in Pune, India through the Alliance for Global Education. Brenna was awarded an Alliance scholarship for her study in India.

• Rachel Cochran is studying in Hyderabad, India at the University of Hyderabad through AIFS. Rachel was awarded a Gilman scholarship for her semester abroad.

• Matthew Cameron is studying in Granada, Spain at the University of Granada’s Center for Modern Languages through Arcadia University's College for Global Studies.

• Laura Miller is studying in Granada, Spain at the University of Granada’s Center for Modern Languages through the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS).

The Office of Diversity Initiatives is excited to announce the launch of the Executive Diversity Scholars program!  On Wednesday, August 31st, ten students attended the informational session.  Executive Diversity Scholars (EDS) is a proactive program tailored to fit the needs of domestic (U.S.) students of color at the University of Evansville. The program is modeled after the Executive Diversity Scholars program created by Pamela Hopson, Director of the Multicultural Center at the University of Southern Indiana. At the University of Evansville, the focus of EDS is on the comprehensive development of the student in the following areas:

• Academic

• Personal

• Professional

• Social

In addition, this program seeks to provide a sense of positive community in which students can explore, grow, develop and ultimately be better prepared for life post-graduation whether that entails the workforce, graduation school, military/service careers, or all of the above.

During bi-monthly workshops, students will explore topics such as: self-awareness, time management, conflict resolution, personal branding, stress management, and cross-cultural communication. Students participate on a voluntary basis and can enter or leave the program at any time. In addition, the program is at zero-cost to the student. EDS is not a student organization in which students would have to assume leadership roles and responsibilities. Instead, it is an opportunity for students to come, gain the knowledge and skills that they need to be successful, and essentially be students. The program is facilitated by the Office of Diversity Initiatives and led by Ms. La Toya Smith, Diversity and Equity Officer.

For more information, please contact La Toya Smith, Diversity and Equity Officer, at (812) 488-2413 or ls103@evansville.edu.
