What sorts of activities are held in the residence halls, on campus, and off campus?
Out-of-classroom events and activities range from formal, structured programs (like lectures and trips) to informal, spur-of-the-moment conversations in the residence hall. These events are usually planned around the discussions taking place in the seminar, but they may evolve in different ways depending on student interests. Not all activities are academic – they can include everything from a brunch to a hike to a neighborhood clean-up. Because there are ample opportunities to engage in conversation about the issues and ideas raised in the classroom – in person as well as through online postings and chats – students, faculty, and mentors have the flexibility to shape new events and activities every semester.
