HALO-Inspired Winter Term Courses

While all of Winter Term is comprised of opportunities for experiential learning, ten mini-courses this Winter Term were especially designated as HALO-inspired. From "Medical Mysteries" to "How to Fly a Spacecraft" "Alternative Media" and the "US Legal System," advisors to HALO helped design classes that exposed students to a variety of disciplines, including law, medicine, economics, media, etc. What did that mean for students and how does it all tie into the HALO project itself?

 

The goal of HALO is to allow and encourage students to become stakeholders in their own education and distinguish themselves in the eyes of college admission and internship directors. This is accomplished by delivering as much exposure and choice of study as possible that will appeal in some way to each and every student. HALO will do just that by allowing us to expand our curriculum and bring to campus the best and brightest Austin has to offer to mentor and engage with our students. From university and corporate partnerships to local artists and medical specialists, HALO will provide the experiential space and curriculum to give St. Michael’s a significant advantage. HALO is Coming!
