Experience JanTerm Spark Sessions, where students share passion-driven projects. Later, join our beloved Virtual Cookie Break to meet Rector Sara Stephenson, Kimber Keating, Director of Enrollment and Engagement, and Shannon Reynolds, Director of Strategic Advancement.
Students will design and lead a small-group project inspired by a personal passion or curiosity. Over the course of JanTerm, they’ll dive deeply into a topic of their choosing, learn how to communicate their enthusiasm to others, and ultimately create and teach a lesson to their peers and teachers. Last year’s student-led explorations ranged from biochemical cooking to wardrobe management to nail care, but each project is entirely shaped by the interests and creativity of the students themselves.
The Basics of Crocheting
This will be an instructional course, so please bring crocheting needles and yarn.
In this class, students will learn the basics of crocheting, including what supplies are needed and common mistakes beginners make. We will go over basic crochet terms and practice making different stitches while learning what each one is used for. Students will also learn about different things they can create with crochet. By the end of the class, they will feel more confident starting their own crochet projects.
Forensics, Criminal Minds, and Cold Cases
1992: Suddenly, the sharp noise of shots fills the air in a suburb of Washington DC. A woman murdered her partner, and what seemed like simple revenge at first turns out to be a complex web of mysteries, fraud, and betrayal. Join us as we uncover the case, discover the multiplex reality of solving crimes, and solve the secret of why true crime keeps us on our feet!
