A&S Students Get an Early Start in J-Term

JAN 13, 2026 Lorenzo Perez, A&S Editorial Director

The College of Arts & Sciences offered 36 January Term courses for students looking to do quick but deep dives into topics ranging from Ancient Egypt and Buddhism to polar environments and genetic and epigenetic research in behavior. Before the J-Term wrapped up on Jan. 10, the A&S videography team visited classes taught by Erin Clabough ("Research Methods: Psychobiology Research Laboratory"), Paul Freedman ("Politics of Food") Lisa Russ Spaar ("Advanced Poetry Writing: The Self-Portrait Poem") and Maria Villanueva ("Drawing I") to produce the video above about the J-Term experience across Arts & Sciences.
