Huntington
junior spends semester at Oxford
 The
old New York cliché “If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere”
is what led Huntington University junior Leslie Newton to spend a
semester abroad at England’s Oxford University. Newton, an English
major from Plainfield, Ill., is taking part in Scholarships and
Christianity in Oxford. The program runs for a full Oxford term,
which is eight weeks of tutorials and another four weeks of “British
Landscapes” in which students attend one class on the history of
Britain.
