Anna Piccione

B.S. Mathematics, B.A. English, Spring 2026 

Studied abroad at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford, from fall 2024-spring 2025. 

In my time as a visiting student at Oxford, I became captivated by the city’s ancient history and rich intellectual tradition. My surroundings were the ideal setting for my studies of medieval literature, Biblical poetry, and early modern Christianity. The Oxford tutorial system helped me become a more independent learner and thinker, honing my ability to articulate and defend my unique viewpoint one-to-one with an expert in my field. I will cherish the lifelong connections I made in the city of dreaming spires and always carry the knowledge I found there among some of the brightest, most curious minds in the world.  

I am currently writing my thesis on data infrastructure and surveillance culture in postmodernist literature. After graduation, I plan to teach before pursuing a graduate degree.
