It’s not all bad news though! Because of this we were able to Law Island- usually only accessible by kayak, it was a great adventure 🚣♂️
Still reminiscing about last weekend 🍎.
Our Burlington campus had the pleasure of welcoming families for parents weekend- a time for parents to visit with their students, see what they’ve been up to, and spend some quality time together.
We were lucky to have a perfect fall weekend which included apple picking at Shelburne Orchards.
Parents, it was a pleasure to have you!
Friday recap incoming!
Our Eugene students have been busy soaking up the gorgeous weather with a hike up Skinners Butte and a trip to the Natural History Museum.
Madison students had themselves a milkshake party in amongst classes, homework, and everything else.
Burlington students are kicking off parents weekend this morning- more to come!
Students, what are you looking forward to this weekend?
