I devoured the integral lectures, the seminars, the tea and biscuits, and the charming streets of Oxford. Aided by my tutors, my passion for the humanities became more academic and focused while at CMRS, and the field trips brought the materials to life in a sublime way. I am thankful for every moment I spent amongst the faculty and staff at CMRS in the summer of 2000.

P.S. I am thankful for Dr Mark Philpott for being the ONLY teacher/instructor/professor/tutor to pronounce my name correctly the first time. I knew I was in a special place the moment my name was called!
