TAC 208
5:00pm – 6:00pm
Come and go as you please
Stop by TAC 208 on 2/27 to learn about the Adirondack Semester. You can ask former students how they liked living in the Adirondacks, climbing mountains, swimming in the lakes, and doing fieldwork in the forests. An overview of the program classes and available credits will be provided. It will be a casual meeting – come and leave at any point.
