Three Weeks of Wow!

January Interterm

Interterm, an experience unique to Baker University, is a time to spread your wings and discover more about the world.

  • Enroll in a one-of-a-kind class.
  • Participate in an internship.
  • Travel in the United States or abroad

Past courses have given students the chance to create a band, design a miniature golf course as art, scuba dive in the Caribbean or travel to New York to see Broadway plays and perform community service.

Once in a Lifetime Experience: Haiti 2012

Jake Bucher, assistant professor of sociology, and 10 students spent 12 days in Haiti as part of a Social Justice and Service in Haiti Interterm class. The students worked on restoring earthquake damage, helped build a school, taught English and computer literacy and worked with orphans. Bucher and senior Molly Schmeidler were featured on Fox4 News and in the Lawrence Journal-World.
