InterSession Empowers Students to Explore Interests and Discover Passions

As students returned to school this Monday they were still buzzing with excitement from their InterSession experiences from last week. InterSession is a student experience completely unique to Notre Dame Belmont (NDB). Students enjoy a week-long immersion into a course of their choice to explore interests, learn skills and discover their passions.

 

Students are able to choose from array of immersion activities including courses with off-campus adventures and even overnight and international travel.

 

Highlights from this year's on-campus immersions included an upbeat hip hop class taught by none other than Mr. G! Students learned new moves to some great tunes.

 

In addition to hip hop, students also enjoyed a variety of artistic endeavors on campus including a guitar class, a Cricut design and screen printing class and a "Threads That Turn Heads" embroidery class. 

Some classes have a fun blend of on-and-off campus activities like the Culinary Adventures class that took cooking classes at Taste Buds Kitchen in Palo Alto where students learned to make fresh pasta and sushi. 

Students who were eager to get moving this InterSession enjoyed bowling and Top Golf in the Rec Sports for Life class and hikes around the Bay Area in the Peninsula Hikes class. 

With big hearts to serve, many Tigers were on a mission to serve our community this InterSession. Tigers in the Life of Pets class made care packages for animals in shelters while students in the Service With a Smile course volunteered at Samaritan House, and our Culinary Arts Tigers finished off the week by cooking and serving dinner at the Table of Plenty in Half Moon Bay with Sister Jeanette Braun.

We are incredibly proud of our Tigers for their willingness to learn new things, discover their passions and serve others! Learn more about InterSession.
