Meet Steph W.

"The program in Reading was affordable and has given me the tools to determine my career path as well as form relationships that I would have never thought were possible. While studying Shakespeare, I was able to attend a lecture by Professor Andrew Gurr, an internationally renowned expert of Shakespearean theatre."
