DFW Student Spotlight for September 7, 2012: Erin Odom

Erin Odom of Dallas, a student at Ursuline Academy of Dallas, earned college credit through the University of Dallas’ Shakespeare in Italy program. She studied three of Shakespeare’s plays with UD professors while living at the university’s Eugene Constantin Campus in Rome.

“The University of Dallas is proud to offer Shakespeare in Italy to ambitious high school students,” said Andrew Moran, assistant professor of English and director of Shakespeare in Italy 2012. “The program, with its emphasis on writing, prepares students to succeed in college and introduces them to another culture through their time in contemporary Italy.”

The University of Dallas is a Catholic, co-educational university with students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs through the Constantin College of Liberal Arts, the College of Business, the Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts and the School of Ministry. The University of Dallas has its main campus in Irving, Texas, an international campus near Rome, Italy, and a learning center in Frisco, Texas. For more information, visit www.udallas.edu.
