Prague Studies

Today, it seemed to be an "Being in Prague ... one

Students in Prague enjoy a night on the town
where someone who, quite
sadly, shaped the latter half
of the twentieth century
and really provided a large
reason for having a class
like International Criminal
Law.
Crazier than that was

centration camp, Terezin,

the day after Café Sperl.
While depressing, the op-
portunity to see the history
with my own eyes that we
only hear about in America
enticed me, particularly
since I have great-uncles
who were held in Norwe-
gian concentration camps.
The International Criminal
Law course even applies
today. "It is interesting to
watch the news now with
the knowledge I gleaned
from the course," Mr.
Radtke said.

missed out on living in
America," Ms. Bhargava
said.
The old town's beautiful
skyline changes to ugly,
cement, Soviet-style
block-housing as you
leave it. The Czech folk
are quiet (nearly inaudible
on the subway) and skep-
tical of strangers. None-
theless, we found that try-
ing even our rudimentary
(and weak) Czech always
made them warm-up and
take interest in us. The
Czechs were really terrifi-
cally nice people.
Prague was great.
"[It] was awesome be-
cause you learned about
the law but not in the typi-
cal law school environ-
ment and the professors
were a lot more chill," Ms.
Bhargaza said. I hope this
story encourages people to
study abroad. Merely re-
calling these words does
not compare to the actual
experience of being in an-
other country and culture.
The classes and professors
combined with the rich
city of Prague are well
worth anyone's trip across
the Atlantic.

student wrote. "Most pro-
fessors have actually prac-
ticed for a number of
years. Their practical ex-
perience and personal an-
ecdotes contribute greatly
to the learning experi-
ence," adds another. The
diversity and quality of the
faculty as highlighted as
one of the strengths of
South Texas with high rat-
ings for interesting profes-
sors and accessible faculty
which add up to a strong
academic experience.
Most students
have heard details of the
strategic plan from Dean
Alfini himself. In a move
that has endeared him to
students he has made an
effort to meet one on one
with as many of us as pos-
sible. Not only can Alfini
be seen at events from ter-
race parties to public
speeches, he also holds a
series of luncheons with
first year students where
he gets their take on what
life is like at South Texas
and how he can make it
better. Accessibility is per-
haps Alfini's strongest at-
tribute with the students.
"I'm a people person, I
enjoy relating and listen-
ing to people to get their
ideas," Alfini said. "The
more I keep connected
with students the better
perspective I can get on
who we are and where we
are going."
Obviously as Dean
Alfini embarks on his sec-
ond year at the helm of
South Texas College of
Law he has even bigger
plans and bigger goals, but
he is quick to point out that
he is not the only one to
be credited for our success
in the last year. He men-
tions that the board, fac-
ulty and staff have all
played an integral part in
improving the school and
the curriculum. "Without
a strong structure in place
this process would have
been tough to handle for a
new dean, but I work with
dedicated individuals who
want nothing but the best
for this school," he said.
With that in mind, we as
students can trust that our
interests are looked out for
and our future as South
Texas graduates is nothing
but bright.
