Weekend
Programs On
Friday evenings
and Saturday mornings, we use Mountain School program time to
explore subjects and issues that are integral to the total
experience, but which transcend any particular discipline. How we
use that time varies from semester to semester. The special sessions
can include: large group activities designed to help students
increase their understanding of themselves as individuals, and as
members of a group; out-side speakers; panels of dairy and vegetable
farmers; exercises in understanding ethical and environmental
theories such as "The Tragedy of the Commons;" and small
group discussions of a common reading. Throughout the semester,
students join with faculty to select, design and help facilitate
these activities.
