Kelly Harris, Head Coach, Women's Crew

I traveled to London, England, the summer after my junior year in high school with about 12-15 other students from a combined AP (Advanced Placement) course in British Literature and American Studies.

Traveling to Europe was an experience that definitely enhanced my educational experience and gave me an opportunity to see places I would have never visited otherwise.

The trip was highlighted by a visit to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Buckingham Palace, the prehistoric Stonehenge monument, the communal hot springs of Bath, various markets and shops along the Thames River, and navigating through Piccadilly Circus on the underground transportation system known as the Tube.

Studying abroad was an amazing experience and one that has heightened my interest and awareness in cultural diversity.
