Kylene Stricklin of Carmi Studies Abroad at University of Evansville's British Campus

2012 May 14

University of Evansville student Kylene Stricklin, a resident of Carmi, IL, will study abroad this summer at Harlaxton College, UE's British campus near Grantham, England.

Stricklin, a graduate of Carmi-White County High School who is majoring in Elementary Education, is among 35 UE students who began classes today at Harlaxton, housed in a 100-room Victorian manor in the English countryside.

"For more than 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, UE director of study abroad. "We're thrilled to provide this life-transforming educational experience for students such as Kylene Stricklin, and we wish all of the Summer 2012 Harlaxton students a summer of learning, discovery, and growth."

The five-week summer session at Harlaxton includes a range of classes in the liberal arts and pre-professional studies. Optional weekend trips to destinations such as London, Paris, York, Cambridge, and Edinburgh provide students with opportunities to engage the culture in Britain and beyond.
