- Renewable Energy w/ Bill Queen and NMC’s solar trailer
- Biodigestion w/ NMC students
- Spinning w/ Sharron May
…and more!
After all that, you’ll want to relax and recharge with:
- Yoga for Hard Working People for all experience levels w/ Sarah Louisignau
and
- Meditation and Mindfulness w/ Amanda Campbell
You must first register in Scholars Hall to be admitted. Morning introduction with Claudia Schmidt and Keynote by Jay Wallsjasper at 9am in Milliken Auditorium.
