An important part of SJI’s curriculum includes time spent outside the classroom, exploring the arts, doing field work, visiting monuments and museums, and taking advantage of programs for high school students and the public at select institutions. These Adventure Days are more than just a chance to stand in front of an original work of art or try one’s hand in observation and data collection. They are an opportunity for students to experience and reflect on the practice of the disciplines they study. By actually doing the work they study, students come to realize how interdisciplinary these activities are, and better understand the need for a liberal arts education.
