Welcome to There Be Dragons

Welcome to There Be Dragons, the Lloyd International Honors College blog designed to take the LIHC community on adventures with students who are currently studying abroad. Departing students receive small red dragons that imitate the Welsh Dragon, Y Ddraig Goch, the mascot of the Lloyd International Honors College. The name There Be Dragons refers to the Latin phrase HC SUNT DRACONES (here are dragons), used on maps in the medieval period to indicate dangerous or uncharted waters or territories. Mapmakers of the medieval and Renaissance eras expanded the idea by including fantastical illustrations of dragons, sea serpents, and other monsters, as in Olaus Magnus' Carta Marina (1539), shown above. We don't want our dragons to stay "here" -- we want them to go "there" and tell tales about what they discover. Visit the links above to learn more about LIHC and study abroad at UNCG.
