Margaret B. Jensen, of Bow, Participates in St. Lawrence University's Adirondack Semester Program

2017 Nov 10

Margaret B. Jensen, of Bow, is one of ten St. Lawrence University students participating in the Adirondack Semester program of study this fall semester.

Following the model of studying abroad in another culture, the Adirondack Semester offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves full-time in the natural world. Students have the chance to experience and reflect critically upon alternative perceptions of how to live responsibly, not just as global citizens of the human community, but as interconnected parts of the global ecosystem. The program includes extended wilderness experiences, as well as courses which examine natural history, ecology, cultural history and ethics. It is based physically and educationally in a remote camp in the Adirondacks, without cars, television, or most electronic devices.
