Outside the Classroom

Summer Field Courses take learning outside the classroom. Here, Fairhaven students study Ecology and Natural History of Olympic National Park during summer session.

Unconventional Scholars

North Campbell, recent recipient of the Adventure Learning Grant for 2010-2011, reads his poem from Inkspeak, a student literary publication, to the Scholar's Day audience.

North heads to Croatia and Montenegro in 2010, where he proposes to explore the economic and social relationships of "Fisherman, fish farmers, fish processors, and fish eaters."

Collision in Discipline

Here, new Fairhaven students share overlapping interests in the Fairhaven Auditorium. Our classes and events do the same, crossing traditional disciplines to learn from multiple perspectives.

Each quarter, the Auditorium holds a space for a wide range of events and classes such as the World Issues Forum speakers, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and Art Sharing.

Folk Music Experience

Each quarter, faculty members Marie Eaton and John Bower teach a class combining the practice of playing traditional folk music with the study of the contexts in which folk music has evolved. Each quarter, the course focuses on a different theme - from immigration to the '60s folk-rock revolution.
