A group of RWC German students will be studying in Ilmenau, Germany, this summer, but RWC 2010 study abroad programs planned for Costa Rica and Great Britain have been canceled due to too few applicants. There were less than a handful of participants for the two trips, and the decision has been made to wait for more participants next summer. The 2011 trip to Britain will focus heavily on the study of Charles Darwin, his life, and the history of the theory of evolution. Professor Mark Otten will teach the Biology course on Darwin, and Professor Mike Roos will teach a creative writing course focusing on the topic of cultural evolution.
The cost for next year’s trip is estimated at $3,000. For more information on the 2011 RWC British Study Abroad Program, contact Professor Roos at 513-745-5764 or email Michael.roos@uc.edu.
