One course, three powerful weeks. Action—that’s what all of history’s great thinkers, artists, achievers, and innovators have in common. They took action, stepping (sometimes literally) into the unknown. Taking cues from this notion, NextTerm is a three-week project-based immersive semester that gives students permission to act on their passions, curiosities, and interests. Each May, students will press the pause button on life as usual to embark on a time of intense discovery. Their findings and contributions aren’t simply for a grade; students will solve real-world problems and advance the way our society thinks about and approaches the most important issues of our time. Where they go next, and what they do next, may all start with NextTerm.
