Field trips took them to Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont, LibertyTown Arts Workshop, Downtown Greens community garden, the Rappahannock River and other nearby locales.<\/p>\n<p>All the while, they lived in Willard Hall and dined at the Cedric Rucker University Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo have a roommate and to be in an actual college dorm is pretty cool,\u201d said Elyse Katolin, a rising 10th-grader from Crofton, Maryland, who chose a course called \u201cSecret Languages.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:7,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2023\\\/07\\\/14\\\/summer-enrichment-program-serves-high-schoolers-a-slice-of-college-life\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px; height: 491px;\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-original-height=\"491\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 734px; height: 491px;\" data-original-width=\"734\" data-original-height=\"491\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/enrichment022\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"730\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"487\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"94075\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-7M3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1689082964&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;70&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-scaled.jpg?w=730&#038;h=487&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-scaled.jpg 2560w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-300x200.jpg 300w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-1024x683.jpg 1024w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/enrichment022-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" width=\"730\" height=\"487\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"730\" data-original-height=\"487\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"\" alt=\"Alfred-David Viyuoh (foreground) and Vivian Rinko complete charcoal sketches during &quot;Exploring Art and Practice.&quot; The course was among several offered during the Summer Enrichment Program, which had students taking off-campus excursions, sleeping in a residence hall and dining at the Cedric Rucker University Center.
