Field Trip Scheduling 

The regular weekly schedule will occasionally be altered in order to take field trips and additional expenses will be incurred on overnight field trips.  Our field trips in the winter quarter will emphasize field observations and meetings with community organizers in various urban landscapes—Olympia/Lacey, Seattle, and Tacoma.  Students will also engage in documenting local activism around labor, cultural, and environmental issues.  Please reserve the following dates and times for program fieldtrips:
