In June 2024, Drs. Lisa Bauman and Christopher Gregg launched their second study abroad program. London: Building the City of Empire took 11 students to one of the great cities of the world for two weeks to explore its history, urban development, and architectural design. They visited Roman baths, climbed the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral, attended a
Shakespearean play at the Globe Theater, explored the East End in a nighttime Jack the Ripper tour, and took in the astounding view from the 43rd floor Sky Garden atop one of London’s most iconic skyscrapers. The program was run entirely on the streets, in museums, and among the monuments of London.
