A Global Moment: Inaugural Bhutan Trip // Blog Announcement
Dear Naropa Community,
As you may be aware, this spring is the first semester of Naropa’s Bhutan Study Abroad (BSA) program, in partnership with the Royal University of Bhutan. Our inaugural group of BSA students have landed in Bhutan and are currently participating in a 3-week orientation prior to settling in at their chosen Royal University of Bhutan campus. This semester’s lead faculty, Anne Parker, has shared some beautiful photos of their journey on her Naropa blog. Naropa’s Study Abroad Department invites you to join this group in their adventure by visiting Anne’s blog at:

If these photos pique your interest in this unique opportunity, please visit http://www.naropa.edu/Bhutan to learn more about the program. Applications for the spring 2016 Bhutan Study Abroad program will open on March 1st, 2015.
Please contact Mari Dark, Study Abroad Administrator, directly if you’d like to discuss this program in more detail!
Enjoy the photos and please check back often to follow the journey of this group of Naropa pioneers!

Student Resource: Find Writing Support at the Naropa Writing Center!
The Naropa Writing Center (NWC) would like to welcome you to the spring semester! As you settle into the rhythm of your courses and start planning your semester, we would like to take this opportunity to tell you a bit about this free academic service.
The Naropa Writing Center provides one-on-one writing support to all Naropa community members. We are happy to work with you at any stage in your writing process, from brainstorming to drafting, revision to citation review. Rather than functioning as an editing service, our goal is to support the development and refinement of your writing skills. Writing Fellows may make recommendations and act as guides in the process of writing development; however, the final decision concerning your writing remains in your hands.
Location (Primary):
The Learning Commons–2nd floor of Wulsin Hall, Arapahoe Campus
Hours of Operation:
Monday-Thursday, 10 AM — 5 PM
Friday, 10 AM — 2 PM
NWC Open Hours:
Monday-Wednesday 4 PM — 5 PM
This semester we are excited to introduce NWC Open Hours. Our Open Hours format allows writers to come work in the writing center in a dedicated study environment. A Writing Fellow will be on-call to answer quick questions and check in on writers as they work. We have implemented this pilot program based on feedback from writers. If you don’t need an appointment for a specific writing goal, but would like to benefit from the NWC’s environment and resources, these Open Hours are for you!
