January term or "J-term" is an exciting time at Randolph-Macon College. This year, more than 90 percent of R-MC students (1,183) participated in this unique month-long program. Students immersed themselves in other cultures by studying abroad; worked in their desired career fields by doing internships; or delved into exciting on-campus courses or research.
Nearly 100 students traveled to one of 10 countries: Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, Tanzania, Hungary, China, Guatemala, Germany, Austria and New Zealand. This year, Randolph-Macon supplied video cameras to several of the classes so that students and professors could chronicle their time abroad. They returned with video blogs that will make you feel as though you traveled with them.
China: In this video, students share their experiences as they traveled to Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing and even climbed the Great Wall of China. The students, led by Professor Jia Xin Wu, learned about China’s present and past, visited sacred temples and toured a tea plantation. The original video footage was provided by Kyle Snodderly ’14.
Japan: Students learned about religion, the art of meditation and the culture and history of Japan. The students, led by Professors Timothy Brown and Todd Munson, toured temples, castles and other historic sites. The original video footage was provided Matthew Wyman ’14.
