Wintersession 2015: Plenty of Learning, Packed Into a Week

About 1,000 students pursued studies of a different sort as the Undergraduate Student Government offered 65 courses during Wintersession — the week between semesters at the end of January. Topics ranged from the cerebral (Bulgarian 101, Scrabble Strategy) to the sensory (Asian Desserts and Delicacies, Haitian Cooking) to the physical (Parkour and Freerunning, The Art of Bodybuilding). Here’s a sampling.
