Highlights from London 2012

The Iona College London study abroad trip wasted no time once they landed! On day 1 they toured Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. 

The tower is being renamed to the Elizabeth Tower in honor of her 60 years of dedicated service to England. And an interesting fact about Big Ben is that only the bell inside the tower is named "Big Ben". It is a known misconception is that the entire tower is called Big Ben.
 The group visited the London Bridge, the London Tower, and the Globe Theater on their second day! (above and right)

On the third day, Jackie Shurman, Kristen Ferencz, Melissa Nowacki, Theresa Quinn, Jessican Marino, Andrew Tenenzapf, and Alexandra Walsh took a Shakespeare and Dickens walking tour, visited Westminster Abbey, and St. Paul's Church!

A Global Summer for Iona

The College sponsors ongoing study abroad programs.  The summer programs in Italy, France, Greece, Oxford, London and Spain offer students courses that can be used to fulfill degree requirements both in general education and in various academic disciplines. Iona students can use these study abroad experiences not only to fulfill graduation requirements but to enhance their career preparation through the invaluable experience of living in another culture.
