Students Explore Alternative Energy in Sweden, Denmark

Grant Funds Courses on Food, Globalization

Peru Destinations: Jungle, Incan Temple
A 2009 Spring Term trip to Peru gave students a chance to learn Spanish, discover the Peruvian culture and serve in a third-world country.

 

Spring Term at Alma is a one-month immersion on a single academic topic that offers learning experiences not typically available during the more traditional 15-week fall and winter terms. For example, during Spring Term '09, students toured cultural sites in Peru, studied alternative energy in Sweden, analyzed theatre and dance in London, and examined Native American culture at the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota.
