Agriculture, Dancing, Radical Education, and You

This group will be an exciting educational experiment. We will spend
some mornings planting crops to harvest through the fall. All members
will have the opportunity to join an experiential, student-led
sustainable agriculture class in the fall semester, researching and
building cold-frames to protect our vegetables, and harvesting
(+cooking!) them in November and December. The orientation group will
also spend time dancing, hiking, making music, discussing Hampshire
and the Radical Departure, and just plain hanging out and having a
good time. This group is a part of the Radical Departure (RD), an
experiment in education and community. Students who are interested in
student-led classes, spontaneous education, or community living are
encouraged to join a RD orientation group.

Chris Kawecki will be in his final semester this fall. He has followed
a crazy path through Hampshire, including work in physics, literature,
education, computer science, agriculture, psychology, and pretty much
everything else, too. He loves folk and partner dancing, bike racing,
gardening, folk-music (bluegrass!), cooking, and especially excited
humans. A leader in RD, he defines himself as a Hampshire radical and
extends a special invitation to the students who come to Hampshire to
creat and be a part of a radical living-learning experience. Feel free
to contact him at (802) 728-5315, ckawecki@hampshire.edu or
http://hampshire.edu/~cpkF92 regardless of whether or not you will be
in his group.

Matt Earls: "Hi. I am in my 6th year of college and finally graduating
this semester. This means that I am doing my Div III (about
concentration and attention), and that I have finished my Div II and
four Div Is. I read too much as a child; now, I love to travel, rock
climb, deprive myself of sleep, play chess, learn from others, play
and listen to guitar (my listenting skills are better), and my dream
is to graduate from Hampshire College."
