A day in the life at UWSP

More...ISH – It’s better than it sounds
One of the great things about the London program is the housing; we’re staying in the International Student House (ISH) in Central London, literally bordering Regent’s Park (the equivalent of Central Park in New York).

More...The inventory dance
In dancing, the perfect choreography consists of pairs of dancers swinging in beautiful circling harmony. Each pair complements each other, highlighting strengths of the individual yet seemingly united. The dance is captivating, flowing cleanly and smoothly across the floor. The patters are uniform yet creative. Everything seems perfectly planned but wildly impulsive. I’m in Milwaukee […]
