All Aboard - the Hogwarts Express is Leaving the Station on July 15

Mon, 06 May 2013 20:57:00 +0000

In a 3 week long course offered through the Wisconsin in Scotland Program, University of Wisconsin-Superior professor Dr. Monica Roth Day will lead students on trips to locations pivotal in J.K. Rowling's writing of the Harry Potter series.

The "Troubles and Torments at Hogwarts" class will explore the themes behind the Harry Potter books as well as fulfill a Social Science General Education requirement. Students will use developmental theories to understand Harry, Hermione, and Ron and their growth from kids to wizards. Space in the Hogwarts course is still available in Module 3 from July 15-August 1.

Roth Day says "students can expect lively discussions and field trips!"

In their course, work, students will "travel into Edinburgh to see the place where J.K. Rowling wrote her first book, and other areas which are important to her and the development of the characters in the Harry Potter series."

Places of interest include the Elephant House, where the first chapters of the series were written, and a cemetery where character names were discovered on headstones. Students may also travel to the town of Alnwick in northern England to visit Alnwick Castle, which serves as the exterior of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the first two Harry Potter films.

Her interest in Scotland and the opportunity to work closely with students drew Dr. Roth Day to this program. "I've always wanted to travel to Scotland and when I heard about Wisconsin in Scotland, I was excited about the opportunity. I've worked in residential programs, and traveled with students. I know what an amazing opportunity it can be to live and learn together."

The Wisconsin in Scotland (WIS) program is an amazing experience that offers virtually limitless opportunities for educational and personal growth. It is an opportunity full of challenges, new experiences, and great rewards (http://www.uwrf.edu/WisconsinInScotland/).

Participants will live in Dalkeith Palace, an 18th century palace owned by the Duke of Buccleuch. Students can choose to study for a full semester, or may choose a three to nine week long summer program. Courses are taught by both visiting American professors and native Scottish professors.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe - August 2013

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:31:14 +0000

The world's oldest and largest arts festival, the Festival Fringe grew out of the first Edinburgh International Festival after World War II. For over sixty years, one of Europe's most beautiful cities has seen an invasion of performers from around the world come together in a magic blend of artistic and creative energy. For three weeks, literally hundreds of performances take place in a variety of spaces located throughout the city. Thousands of people from around the world attend the performances and crowd the Royal Mile watching the street performers. At the end of the Royal Mile and next to the walls of Edinburgh Castle is the world-famous spectacle of hundreds of pipers and drummers in the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

This superb opportunity is for anyone interested in an intensive experience in theater, not just theater majors and minors. The program was especially designed for students who could not study away for a longer period and satisfies the Fine and Applied Arts general education requirement in History, Criticism and Appreciation.

The students will reside at Dalkeith House, a stately manor house built in 1702 on the ruins of a castle and home to the Wisconsin in Scotland Program. Within slightly over a two week period,students experience a dozen performances including theater, dance, comedy,musicals, operas, exhibits and events and learn how to critically analyze the performances and write performance reviews. Venues range from beautifully appointed historical theaters to funky sites such as the "Udderbelly" which offers seating inside a gigantic helium-filled upside-down cow!

Free time is also provided with opportunities to experience many other sights in the area including fantastic museums and galleries in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the beautiful Roslyn Chapel where parts of the movie DaVinci Code were filmed.
