Views From the Green: Cycling Through Midsummer

News subtitle

Outdoor activity and work in classrooms and labs all kick into gear.

Late July and early August are fine times to be in Hanover, both for academic pursuits and for recreational activities that are right outside the door.

Add in pop-up performances by the Dance Theatre of Harlem, and it’s all the more reason to be on campus during summer term.
