We’re only a few weeks into the new school year, and already faculty and staff are wandering about wearing speculative expressions, checking their closets for gear, and tallying hypothetical costs and budgets. This is the time for them to submit their plans for Intersession Courses, and they have come up with some very exciting proposals.
If you and your daughter(s) have not had an opportunity to experience Intersession yet, you should know that it is a venerable Notre Dame tradition; a biennial celebration of the talents and enthusiasms that teachers don’t ordinarily get a chance to share with their students. On Wednesday March 10/Thursday March 11/Friday March 12, Notre Dame faculty and staff will present workshops, lead retreats, and conduct mini-adventures for small, eclectic groups of students. This break in the normal routine gives the members of our community a means to build connections and to learn about the sides of ourselves that don’t have an opportunity for expression during the regular school day.
The Intersession Catalog is available now! Take time to review the options with your daughter(s). A wide range of courses will be available, some of them nearly cost-free, some of them more expensive. Students will have opportunities to learn skills, to visit new places, to gain community service hours, and to have valuable experiences. (Priority will be given to upper class women).
If you are planning to take your daughter(s) on a Family Trip, please remember that students may only exercise this Intersession option once during their four years at NDB.
The Intersession Catalog will contain all pertinent information on times, costs, and course details, as well as registration and permission forms. If you have questions after reviewing the Catalog, please contact Rebecca Girard at rgirard@ndhsb.org or Elizabeth Hegarty at ehegarty@ndhsb.org.
Deadline for ALL REGISTRATIONS is Wednesday, December 9.
A $10.00 late registration fee will be charged to any student who has not signed up online for a course by December 15, 2009. A $35.00 processing fee will be charged to any student who needs to changer her course selection after December 15, 2009. The number and diversity of course offerings make it critical that all students meet these deadlines. Students who fail to register on time will be enrolled in course #A-1: Campus Beautification.
