Overview
The Office of Winter Term coordinates preparation for winter term and supports the work of the Winter Term Committee. Winter term, the month of January, enables students to complete self-directed educational projects of their choices, either individually or as part of a group. Winter term projects are conceived as half-credit or full-credit and may be completed on or off campus. Students must earn three full winter term credits to graduate; transfer students must earn one winter term credit in each winter term during their enrollment at Oberlin, up to a maximum of three. Winter term credits are not the same as semester credit hours, i.e., winter term credits are not included in the required for graduation 112 Arts and Sciences, 124 Conservatory, or 152 Double-Degree semester hours. Winter term credits cannot fulfill the Quantitative Proficiency, Writing Proficiency, or Cultural Diversity requirements.
- Announcement
- I write to invite you to attend an informational meeting for over 20 winter term 2012 arts internships available in San Francisco or close by, housing provided. These internships include orchestras and small ensembles, schools, opera companies, sound design and recording, and music festivals, including jazz. Housing will be with Oberlin familes or alumni if you need it.
- There are two meetings planned: Monday, October 10 from 9:00-10:00 p.m. and Tuesday, October 11 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the Sybar of the Kohl buidling. If you are interested in attending one of the sessions, please email me so that we can plan accordingly.
- Because we anticipate there will be more students than internships, these will be highly competitive, and there will be an application process followed by individual interviews.
- Jeannie Schram, the project director, will be on campus the week of October 10 to conduct these sessions and meet with interested students. Dr. Schram's appointments will be limited, so I strongly encourage you to attend these sessions if you can.
- If you are interested but unable to attend, email me so I can put you on our distribution list. The internship descriptions will be available on Blackboard within the next week and I will send another email at that time. I hope the semester is going well for you!
