A second important feature of the January Term is the extensive cocurricular
programming designed to promote an interdisciplinary
campus-wide investigation of a topic or issue. The prefix “co” rather than
“extra” precedes curricular because these events are integral parts of
January Term courses. Speakers, films, colloquia, etc. are carefully
planned and scheduled at the request of course instructors to add a
special dimension to their offerings not usually possible during the fall or
spring.
The co-curricular planning in January is designed around an annual
theme emanating from Curriculum XXI. The theme for academic year
2000-01, for example, was “Native America: Lessons for Survival.” In
2001-02, the College focused on “Encuentros/Encounters: Art and Social
Justice in Latin America.” The 2002-03 theme was “Sustainable Living.”
In 2003-04, the focus was on “Globalization”; 2004-05, “Health and the
Human Experience”; and in 2005-06, “Food in Our Lives.”
