Yesterday we visited the most picturesque campus in the world, Regent’s University. Jason Mackenzie facilitated a discussion around media and I was most engaged in how we theorized advertising trends will unfold, specifically in regards to AR and VR. The conversation was more focused around media trends internationally than I expected, but reading British newspapers […]

London Day 3 – Tokyo Drift
Today was a lovely day; rainy and busy, but lovely nonetheless. Our first stop was at a Public Relations agency called Battenhall. After a slightly damp journey, we arrived at the agency for our first lecture. Battenhall is a lot different than most agencies, and is truly unique. We heard from a multitude of people, […]
Day 2: First Media Visit and Exploring
Tuesday, May 7, 2019 I was so dead when Wednesday morning. The class got up super early because we had our first lecture! We went to Regents University to hear Jason Mackenzie talking about media in the UK. The University was GORGEOUS. The gardens were filled with different colored flowers and the building were tall and […]
Day 2: British Macchiatos &Mayo
Our first full day in London was an interesting one for sure. It began with a full English breakfast at our hotel and prepping ourselves for our first media visit with Jason MacKenzie at Regent’s University. After breakfast, Kayla, Angela and I walked down the street from our hotel to a UK-based sandwich/coffee shop. We […]

Day 2: Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen
Today was an exciting one because it was our first media visit of the trip at Regents University. To get there, we had to take the Underground/tube, which was an experience all on its own. I enjoyed the trip because then I was able to get around on it later on my own. After the […]
Day Two: Is Mayonnaise a French Fry Condiment?
The day started out with a trip to Point Park’s study abroad sister campus, Regent’s University. Before we could get there though, we had to figure out how to ride the Tube. This was very exciting for me but also a little stressful because I am one of those people who needs to know everything […]
Day Two: I dodged one too many pigeons today
Hitting the ground running yesterday made not only for a tiring day and night but for a great night of sleep too. After hopping on the Tube, we ended up at Regent’s University. Regent’s University is located inside of Regent’s Park. The park provides an ample amount of greenery for the university. It’s a gorgeous […]
Day 1: Buckingham Palace and a New Baby
As someone who has been on a number of flights, both international and domestic, this flight in particular, was by far the longest. The 7 and a half hour flight seemed to drag on forever. One thing that really surprised me on this British Airways flight was the fact that they began serving us dinner […]
Regents University & the Victoria & Albert Museum
Had a good (filling) breakfast at the hotel and then we were off to our first media visit. A lecture on the landscape of media in the UK presented by Jason MacKenzie. He was really good! He kept the students (and all of us faculty) engaged as we discussed various topics pertaining to UK media. […]
