WJU Summer Career and Cultural Program Week 3

WJU’s career and cultural program is quickly coming to an end.  We here at WJU hope that our visiting students are experiencing a summer they will cherish through their lives. Like any other week, this week was full of activities. The guys played basketball and the girls played soccer. Check out photos of our students showing off their skills.

This week, the students were introduced to Surrealism in Art, the role of Myth and Magic in Literature and how culture influences our understanding of what is strange or unusual. The students showed their creativity on their collage projects in art class taught by Ms. Georgia Tambasis, Professor of Visual Arts. Here are photos of the students with their art projects.

 The ladies had a Zumba night which turned out to be a success. Check out the photos!

After a long day of classes, the students got to have more fun playing bowling at the local bowling alley, and dancing the night away at the Red Carpet Dance in the Ratt. The girls looked glamorous and the guys looked handsome. It was definitely a good night! Check out the photos.

 
To end the week, a group of Spanish students went to a West Virginia trip. They visited Prickett’s Fort in Fairmont, WV where Capt. Jacob Prickett and other WV settlers lived in the 1700’s. In addition, they toured the Governor’s Mansion, Capital Building, and the West Virginia Museum all located in Charleston, WV. Here are photos of the students enjoying a little piece of West Virginia history.

 

As part of their West Virginia tour, the West Virginia Museum provided our students with video cameras that they can use to record interesting things inside the building. Here is a video from a student's video camera as they enter and begin the tour.

 

While others are touring West Virginia, another group of students participated in the Root Beer Float Fundraiser for Easter Seals. With the help of the local Kroger store, the students made root beer floats and sold them for a dollar to help fund services to individuals with disabilities and developmental delays.

 

WJU’s summer event has been going really fast and there’s only one week left! Don’t forget to check back next week to see how the students will end their stay here at WJU. See you!
