2024 Odyssey to Oxford

AUGUST 18 - 31, 2024

Dear Alumni and Friends,

Imagine yourself in a world where whispers of great thinkers envelop you. Imagine learning from tutors in an intimate classroom setting. Imagine being a part of an exclusive group who experience the magic of a storied English university first hand.

This is the MSU Alumni Office Odyssey to Oxford experience.

From Aug. 18 – 31, 2024 we’ll host our most popular lifelong education abroad program, now in it’s 39th year, and I invite you to be a part of it. Immersing yourself in the majesty of England while expanding your mind is something that every Spartan should experience. This year, we again have some outstanding programming – we’ll trace the development of the gothic novel and consider why we remain fascinated with the forbidden; examine why the political history of Great Britain is intimately connected to its monarchy by looking at both individual rulers and the institution of monarchy; delve into the life of one of the most powerful and influential men in England, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey; and explore the world of the 18th century country house through its architecture, interior decoration and people who designed and lived in them. I hope you’ll consider joining us in Oxford for what promises to be another incredible year. Don’t wait too long to decide, though, as this program fills quickly. The application opens Feb. 15, 2024 and you’ll find details regarding it in this brochure.

With regards,

Elizabeth Wheeler Director of Alumni Events and Programs
