Athletics department to offer camps The athletics department is offering summer sports camps in baseball, basketball, cheerleading, soccer, softball, tennis, triathlon and volleyball.

Faculty needed to teach summer workshops From July 23 to Aug. 27, students from around the world will be attending the English as a second language department’s five-week Summer Intensive Program. This program is designed for students who are looking for an intensive immersion experience in English. Most are interested in attending Savannah College of Art and Design and a few have already been accepted, so this is an opportunity to acquaint them with the various classes offered and professors who teach them. Since it is often their first encounter with American culture, students also learn about American social and academic expectations. In addition to attending classes to help develop proficiency in basic language skills, students tour museums and galleries, plan and prepare a meal, work collaboratively on projects, view films, go to the breach, and attend workshops offered by faculty in the art and design departments. Such workshops give students an opportunity to explore various fields and familiarize themselves with the college and its resources. Faculty from several departments contributed to the program’s success last summer by offering two or three-hour workshops, which gave the students a chance to try their hand at, for example, glass etching and self-portrait drawing. The program is looking for studio instructors with a few hours to spare and some good ideas to involve our students in a hands-on project.
