South Carolina students travel to Oxford for a unique study abroad experience

Clemson University Honors College students Sergio Gonzalez Varela and Gavin Hunt are two of four participants who shared a unique summer experience while being able to study on Oxford University’s campus. This opportunity was made available to them through the Christopher J. Duckenfield Scholars Program .

The five-week summer program allows Honors students the opportunity to learn from Oxford professors in one of three study areas: environmental studies, English and English literature studies, or medieval studies. Students are selected through a stringent application process based on their talent, motivation, commitment and ability to attend St. Peter’s College Summer School at Magdalen College. 

The Duckenfield Scholarship gives our students an opportunity to broaden their educational horizons. The subject areas covered at Oxford, along with the unique instructional method used in tutorial classes, help our students become deeper, more synthetic, and more independent thinkers. Sarah Winslow, dean, Clemson University HOnors College

Rediscovering Shakespeare

Sergio Gonzalez Varela, a political science major from Seneca, chose to study English and English Literature, specifically, Rediscovering Shakespeare.

He applied to this program in hopes of cultural enrichment positively influencing him as a student and a future foreign civil service officer or American ambassador in the Latin American region. 

“This experience over the summer has been an unbelievable development in my life. I made new friends, learned so much more than I could have imagined, and gained a new sense of independence,” said Gonzalez Varela. “It has truly been one of the most fulfilling experiences I have ever had.”

Gonzalez Varela will use what he learned through Shakespeare’s writings to help guide his understanding of moral and political issues. In doing so, he believes he can balance being a compassionate yet effective government official. 

“I want to learn from the mistakes of men like Coriolanus so I can truly serve the people’s interests through my job,” added Gonzalez Varela.

Exploring medieval studies

Gavin Hunt, a mechanical engineering major from Summerville, chose to study Medieval Studies, specifically Conquest & Colonisation: England and her Neighbours – 1016-1296.

He had been interested in applying to be a Duckenfield scholar since his first year on campus. This program allowed him to complete his History minor and gave him essential knowledge for his future career as a technical weapons analyst for the State Department or intelligence community. 

“I definitely recommend this program to all interested students! It was the best summer of my life,” said Hunt. “The professors and staff were exceptional in their fields and easy to get along with, while the other students at the summer school became lifelong friends. I still text them every day!”

Hunt’s desired profession requires an understanding of international politics and history. This career path requires an individual with an engineering degree and knowledge of history and international relations.

“Being able to study medieval history, the beginning of modern Europe, and how these nations interacted will help me become a more qualified candidate for this type of job,” Hunt said.

Scholar presentations

Gonzalez Varela and Hunt were two of four recipients this year to receive the opportunity of studying within this program. They recently both had the opportunity to report their summer research and activities to the Honors College community. 

The other 2022 program participants, Eliza Basel and Delaney Wallace will present their experiences online on November 28. During her time abroad, Basel chose to study Environmental Studies with a focus on Climate Change in the Anthropocene: Global Catastrophic Risk & Management. Wallace chose to study English & English Literature, focusing on Prison Literature: The Freedom of Imprisonment. 

About the program

The Christopher J. Duckenfield Scholars Program was established in 2005 by family and friends of the late Christopher Duckenfield. This Oxford alumnus also served as Clemson’s vice provost for computing and information technology. To honor his memory, his wife Marty continues to oversee the program and enjoys connecting with all students who participate.

Were it not for the Oxford experience that my husband Chris and I had, we would not be here at Clemson. Clemson was an amazing place for us to be and still is for me. We both knew how Oxford had changed our lives, and my children recognized how studying abroad had changed theirs. Our family felt it fitting that a way to honor Chris was to connect Clemson University with Oxford in a meaningful way and to change lives in the process. The students honor Chris’s larger legacy at Clemson and what he saw as a transformative time at Oxford. I have seen lives changed each year since 2005, as scholars return from their incomparable experience at Magdalen College. Marty Duckenfield

NASA, Clemson University announce space travel partnership

A new agreement will mean Clemson University's staff and students reaching for the stars. On Monday, NASA and Clemson announced a new Space Act agreement, partnering the two in space travel efforts.

This comes as NASA works to overcome challenges to travel to Mars, 140 million miles away.

If Mars is the length of a football field, then a trip to the moon is an almost eight-inch step. This leap will require resources and partnerships like Monday's.

The agreement was one small step for NASA, one giant leap for Clemson.

"To make that next giant leap, we need to have everyone involved and everyone working together," said Vanessa Wyche, a Clemson alum and Director of the NASA Johnson Space Center.

The two will work together to help further space travel, allowing students and faculty to help research and develop answers to its challenges.

"Those are challenges in energy, in transportation, habitation. And Clemson has a unique capability that we'll be able to apply to help us to solve those challenges," said Wyche.

Clemson and NASA have a longstanding relationship. The university has a galaxy of engineering, computer science, materials, and AI experts. But this partnership will mean working closer than ever before and leveraging contacts in the private sector.

"The three of us together will help advance the space program. And also the economy of South Carolina can provide opportunities for our students to learn from the very, very best," said Clemson University Provost Bob Jones.

Wyche hopes the program lets area businesses, students, and faculty know that there is space for them at NASA. The sky isn't the limit.

She said, "For them to know and see that they can be a part of this. this is not something that's distant. It's right here."

Clemson already has scholarships and grant programs with NASA, but this takes things even further. It makes the Upstate a much brighter stay in the engineering and science worlds.

A Guide to Study Abroad Programs in Moscow, Russia

The capital of the world’s largest nation and the heart of the former Soviet empire, Moscow is a historical powerhouse kicking with new life. From colorful Orthodox cathedrals and ballets at the Bolshoi Theatre to understated art galleries and backwater pubs, this communist center is heaving with culture. While studying abroad in Moscow, students can expect pop-up ping-pong tournaments in the park, classical concerts, and retro clubs, where Russian and international students mix and mingle.

Popular Ways to Study Abroad in Moscow

Studying in Moscow offers a smorgasbord of options for international students. Whether you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-track art institute or a major scientific research university, you’ll find it in Russia’s capital city. 

Popular subjects to study. Most students who opt to spend their time abroad in Moscow pursue Russian studies , which is the obvious choice for a reason. Founded in 1147, Moscow is one of the oldest cities in Russia, making it an ideal location to study history . For aspiring performance artists and cinema enthusiasts, theater programs in Moscow are also especially strong. The city has a lively history of performance art, recognized on the world stage. Studying theatre in Moscow offers students insight into Russian theatrical traditions and the region’s best playwrights, including the likes of Gogol and Chekhov. 

Short term and summer vs. long term programs. Moscow’s academic calendar looks similar to that of many Western education systems. Classes start in September and end in May, with breaks in November, late December, and March. Summer is usually off, but many universities and private education centers in Moscow continue offering courses during the summer term. 

Attending universities vs. studying w/ other program types. You can opt to register directly and be admitted to a university in Moscow, or you can choose to go through your own university, through a consortium, or through a third-party provider. There is no “right” or “wrong” way to study abroad in Moscow, so we recommend that you pick the program that fits your needs, goals, and budget.

Student Life in Moscow

From iconic communist monuments to Brooklyn-esque bistros, Moscow is pulsing with dark chills and hopeful vibrance; a mix that is forever captivating students’ imaginations. If you don’t know where to start, the Kremlin and Red Square are like Moscow’s North Star, guiding you back toward the city’s center.

Students taking a full course load have their hands full with classes and homework, but it’s worth making time for an evening break to pop into a neighborhood dive bar or visit an art museum. On summer afternoons, you’d be remiss not to take a stroll through Gorky Park. If your feet can’t move fast enough to cover the 10 miles path along the Moscow River, rent a bike or a pair of inline skates, or post up on the Olive Beach sundeck. Gorky Park is also famous for impromptu tournaments and tango dance classes, so don’t be shy about joining in.

For a classier night out, dabble in Moscow’s traditional arts scene or explore more experimental side scenes- especially popular among the burgeoning class of Muscovite “hipsters”. Watch a performance of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture at the Bolshoi Theatre, just down the street from where it premiered nearly a century ago. Thirsty? Sip cocktails on the rooftop of the funkily refurbished Red October Chocolate Factory, which has been transformed into a cultural hub.
