Imagining the Body

What's going on in week 6??

If you'd like to recommend a text for winter quarter, please submit a written request with the book title, author and reason why you think it fits our program themes. If you have a copy of the text to loan us for a week or so, that would be helpful, too.

If you'd like to see a good example of an integration paper (written by one of your peers), look for the downloadable file under "downloadable files."

BOOK REVIEW DUE ON MONDAY. PLEASE REMEMBER YOU WILL NEED TO BRING AT LEAST FOUR COPIES OF YOUR DRAFT - ONE FOR YOU AND ONE FOR EACH MEMBER OF YOUR PEER REVIEW GROUP! HAVE THESE WITH YOU WHEN YOU ARRIVE ON MONDAY.

Notice that your faculty are on retreat this week, so we will be away from campus from Wednesday afternoon on. Yes, it's true - THERE IS NO CLASS ON THURSDAY. You have plenty to do, however, right?

Remember - there is optional yoga on Tuesday at 1:30 in the CRC - taught by Nicole. You are all invited.
