Junior Art History major Kareena Ferguson spent Winter Term 2025 abroad in London and the lower UK. Through GBL 1/2570 Literary Landscapes they learned how culture and history have shaped English literature.
Her favorite part was the overpriced chocolate covered (giant) strawberries they bought many times from Camden Market!
Kareena also has minors in Astronomy, Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies, and Museum Studies & Public History.
