Summer in Stockholm Info Session
Learn more about Summer in Stockholm through this casual drop-in info session. Meet with the faculty director and study abroad advisor and learn about this unique program. Stockholm is nicknamed the “Beauty on the Water” for the way the Swedish capital city sprawls between the Baltic Sea and Lake Mälaren. Stockholm is a city for indoor and outdoor adventurers. In this summer program we will be exploring the natural and cultural wonders of Scandinavia through course work and field trips. Many classes are also taught out in the field, creating a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Scandinavia. Make a nature print with your professor on the Archipelago. Go birding in the first national city park (since 1452) across from your dorm. Find out who makes the best kanelbuller in Södermalm and then go thrifting. Enjoy watching the sun stay up longer and longer – by the end of the program, you may never see the sun really set!

ARST 2376 Expressions of Nature (Pippin Frisbie-Calder)
This is a design and project-based class, inspired by the natural world.

Integrating principles of design and aesthetics, students will assemble and combine these materials in a series of print-based projects.
