Sutton Alexander studies abroad during Interim 2018

2018 Jan 22

Sutton Alexander is is studying abroad in Bonair as part of the Interim course: Scuba dive Bonaire, the fish capital of the Caribbean. This course uses the coral reef as a classroom. Both biology and non-biology students learn how complex coral reef ecosystems are and they will see how vital the reefs are to the world ocean.

Interim permits students and professors to concentrate for the month of January on a single study project of his or her choosing. Interim projects are designed to move beyond traditional classroom courses and teaching methods, to consider important topics in relevant ways and places, to observe issues in action, to develop capacities for independent learning, and to encourage the responsible self-direction of educational development.
