January Term Visit Day

January Term is a unique one-month course that alters the pace of the academic year by providing opportunities for students to engage in focused exploration of a single subject. January study is often experiential and/or experimental, and students are given greater freedom and greater responsibility for their learning. Come see what it’s all about!

High school seniors may choose a Sunday afternoon arrival in order to participate in leisure activities with current Luther students. Choices include both indoor and outdoor activities, such as: snowshoeing, hiking, rock climbing, working out, volleyball, cards, or board games. Students arriving on Sunday are also invited to stay overnight on campus with current students. Note: due to space and student host limitations, Sunday activities and overnight visits are limited to current high school seniors.

High school juniors and their families are also invited to attend, and are welcome at all of Monday's activities. However, due to campus policy juniors are not able to stay on campus Sunday night.

Activities on Monday, January 20, will introduce students to the academic facets of the January Term experience: on-campus study, study abroad programs, internships, and research experiences. Interaction with current students and class visits are included in the schedule. First time visitors are encouraged to extend their time on campus in order to tour campus and/or attend an Introduction to Luther session.

There will be activities for parents on both Sunday and Monday. Sunday options include a van tour of Decorah, as well as dinner in Peace Dining Room with faculty members and parents of current students. While students are in class on Monday, parents can choose to attend information sessions on various topics such as: advising, housing, financial aid, etc.

Hotel choices can be found at www.luther.edu/decorah/lodging/.

Student arrival times will vary depending on their chosen activities. Check-in for Sunday activities will be on the second floor of the Dahl Centennial Union. Check-in for Monday activities will be in the Valders Hall of Science Concourse.

We hope you will join us for this in-depth look at one of Luther College's favorite times of year.
