WINTERIM
Begun in 1973, Winterim is a three-week program of opportunities meant to broaden the intellectual horizons of our students.
Winterim Celebrating 45 years
The Harpeth Hall Upper School
completed its 45th Winterim program in January. For three weeks, the Harpeth Hall classroom extended to the far corners of the globe as our juniors and seniors engaged in academic travel, international exchanges, hands-on internships, and independent study projects. Deep gratitude and appreciation go to our extraordinary Director of Winterim and International Exchange, Jacquie Watlington, and Winterim Assistant, Sinclair Kelly ’98, as well as to our students, faculty, parents, and alumnae who worked together to organize and carefully plan the myriad of events. Students and faculty traveled to France, Spain, India, Northern Ireland, Australia, Uganda, England, Chile, Haiti, Portugal, St. Croix,
New York City, Washington, D.C., and many other cities across the United States. Internship experiences ranged from Congressional hearings to publishing house editing, and from music concert planning to hospital and operating room observations. Travel experiences ranged from cooking classes in Bordeaux, France to seeing the Taj Mahal in person with lifelong friends. From helping the women and children of Uganda to language and cultural immersion in Spain. Anticipated with endless excitement each year, Winterim evolves and shifts based on student interest and availability, but the celebrated program is consistently cited by students, faculty and alumnae as some of the most memorable and life-changing experiences of their lives.
