A Lawrence County native will be heading to the prestigious Oxford University this summer through the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities’ Best Semester program. Sumner native Torri Frye, a junior at Trevecca University in Nashville, Tennessee, was one of just 25 students from around the world selected to participate in the intensive six-week study abroad experience. Participants were chosen following an extensive application process, which included the submission of an essay, 25 short answer questions and letters of recommendation. Frye graduated from Olney Central College last May. While at Oxford, Frye, an English and creative writing major, will take two courses, “C.S. Lewis and the Classics” and “British Enlightenment Literature.” Frye will leave for England on June 14 and return July 16.
