Fall 2012
August 20 - December 14, 2012
Each fall, the Chesapeake Semester will engage a select group of students in the interdisciplinary study of North America's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay. Students will study the complex history, ecology, and culture of the Chesapeake as a microcosm of the challenges and transitions confronting coastal communities around the world. Using the College and the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum as base camps, they will travel in, on and around the 64,000 square mile watershed.

Events are sponsored by the Kent County Humane Society, the Town of Chestertown, and Washington College's Center for Environment & Society. "We join together to promote public parks, green spaces, and healthy land, air and water," says JoAnn Fairchild, who works for the College. "For our pets, our families and our future," she says, it is in the community's best interest to be a good steward of the Earth. Read about last year's event here.
