Join us from 5:00-7:00 on Wed., October 25th in Oren Gateway Center 100 for pizza and conversation about plans for the next River Semester, which will launch on Aug. 20, 2018. Students will spend 100 days paddling the Mississippi River, hearing from local experts and meeting residents all along the way. This unique semester program includes 16 credits of courses in Environmental Studies, Political Science, Biology, an integrative independent study project, and other custom courses. In 2018 the River Semester will also partner with the Bancroft-Arnesen Expedition’s Access Water trip down the Mississippi, and students will participate in the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize Forum with an international contingent of water experts joining part of the river trip. Applications are now being accepted with a $500 discount on applications approved before Dec. 15th.
