Lynn Laufenberg, associate professor of history at Sweet Briar College, has been selected for the 2007 Oxford Berkeley Program, a joint program of Oxford University and the University of California, Berkeley Extension.

Lynn Laufenberg will travel to England this summer to study. In its 38th year, the program offers intensive seminars in everything from “The Art of Lying,” a course on creative writing, to “Castles and Country Houses.” During the three-week-long course, July 2 to 17, Laufenberg will study “Roman Britain: Its Archaeology and History.”

Each of the 10 intensive courses offered by the program is limited to 12 scholars. During their stay in Oxford, participants live and study at Merton College, a 13th-century medieval campus.

The Louise Garrard Davis Blanchard Fund enables Sweet Briar faculty to participate in the Oxford Berkeley Program. The fund provides tuition and transportation costs and spending money.

Awardees are selected by a committee headed up by the dean’s office. For more information on the Oxford Berkeley Program visit http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/travel/tws-ox4.html.
