Led by professor Dave Boeyink, honors students are spending two months in London this summer.
Thirteen journalism majors got a taste of what it’s like to work abroad this summer.

Ernie Pyle Scholars in the school’s honors program studied and had internships in London during May and June.

Each student worked for a newspaper, magazine, public relations firm or Web company.

Read about their life in London as students tell their stories of work, travel and the shrinking dollar.



Hear students reflect on the summer in this video posted by Gannett.
