Curious what a day in the life looks like for students at SEGL in London? Swipe to find out!

1.) The day began with breakfast and tea at Pickwick Hall, our home in London’s famous Bloomsbury neighborhood. Students were lucky enough to visit with Associate Director Sam Novack’s dog, Ronin!
2.) Students took the London Tube to Paddington Station where they boarded a train to Oxford. There, Ginya, an SEGL grad and current teacher with Oxford master’s degrees, gave students a tour of major landmarks.
3.) Students met with Avril Haines—President Biden’s Director of National Intelligence—who gave students a private tour of one of Oxford’s most famous colleges: All Souls College.
4.) Ms Haines was joined by Cécile Fabre—Professor of Philosophy, Politics, and International Relations at Oxford—who led a masterclass on the ethical and legal dimensions of the repatriation of contested objects like the Parthenon Marbles at the British Museum, which the cohort studied in the first week of the semester.
5.) Students visited the famous Oxford Covered Market, and then received two behind-the-scenes tours of Oxford Colleges led by SEGL grads.
6.) After a failed attempt to recruit this beautiful cat to the cohort, students boarded another train back to London. After an eventful day, students enjoyed a restful dinner and evening back at Pickwick.
