New York in 3,000 Words or Less 
Winter Session Travel Writing students share NYC experiences in creative non-fiction form

Students in English professor Sue Larkin's English 248 "Travel Writing" course spent nearly a week in New York City in January as part of the College's Winter Session, a special three-week academic term when students concentrate their studies on one intensive course.

Some Winter Session courses allow students to explore off-the-beaten path topics, and many of them involve travel to learning destinations around United States and abroad.

Larkin's students traveled along with students in theatre professor Travis Malone's "Contemporary New York Theater" course. The two groups were able to collaborate on activities and share perspectives in a way that enriched the overall experience.

They even combined efforts to put on a show as a reflection exercise when they returned to campus, and the result, Larkin notes "was a beautiful melding of the two genres."
