Winterim Ends

When asked to describe their Winterim, we recorded what students said in order to make the Wordle below:

Check out the final slide show of various photos we received throughout the 2-week Winterim experience. The song on this slide show was taken from the Animoto music lounge, which artists use to promote their music. The song used for the Winterim assembly slide show was called Propane Nightmares by Pendulum. We currently do not have permission to use their song on our website.

What Makes a Good Winterim?

Renowned field reporters, Gabe and Kerrin went into the action first hand to ask various groups what makes a good Winterim. When posed with the question, France replied with various responses, such as good leaders, good food, and group bonding. Arizona was a little less helpful, but still provided some good answers such as: library cards, accomplishing a goal, and working together. Mr. Smith, Winterim Coordinator, agrees that reaching a common goal as a group is the most important factor of a successful Winterim.

As we can see, most of what makes a good Winterim is centered around the group getting along, and having minimal fights on the trip.

The Groton Flood, Or Why Nobody Can Get To Work Today

After three days of heavy rain (over 9 inches total), parts of Groton and the surrounding towns have become islands. We drove on out to Groton and Pepperell to see if we could catch some of the flooded areas on camera. The water level was incredibly high, making driving a little difficult. Luckily, being a boarder, the commute isn't terrible!

Group Photos - Take 1

Several group photos were taken during the final Winterim Meetings on Feb. 12th. All on/near campus group photos will be taken the first Monday of Winterim, 3/8.
