The end is nigh. The first of my friends have departed Oxford and many more will follow after this week is over. My friends Riley and Udgam went home this week to relax before starting summer internships next week. We did make good use of the week, however. I played...

It’s been a week since I arrived in Kisumu, Kenya with 40+ HESE students and professors. Returning to East Africa after spending last May in Arusha, Tanzania has been a steadier transition, yet every day there are new situations, uncomfortable moments, and meaningful...

It was a rather busy week here in Oxford, but a good one nonetheless. Last Monday I saw Josh Gad speak at the Oxford Union. Gad is best known as the voice of Olaf the snowman in Frozen, but he was also the original lead in Book of Mormon when the show premiered on...

It’s been a rather relaxing week in Oxford, which is a big improvement over last week. It rained half of the week last week and was actually pretty chilly. Plus, I had three papers due in the span of 8 days. Not a fun week overall. This week, however, went much...
