Today’s highlights Adrian Flynn, class of 2025, who learned the oud in Morocco this summer 🇲🇦🎶✈️

“This summer, CMC’s SIE program funded my self-directed cultural immersion experience in which I spent 6 weeks traveling solo in Northern Morocco and studying the oud, a prominent instrument in MENA music and ancestor of the guitar. I spent the first three weeks in Fes taking lessons everyday with a professor at the local conservatory. Then I spent around a week each in Chefchaouen, Tetouan and Tangier where I befriended local Andalusi music orchestras and learned multiple styles of playing the oud in more informal settings. Being enveloped in music throughout my travels has been nothing short of incredible and a strong foundation for cultural exchange in all directions. I will not soon forget the graciousness of Moroccans and the in-depth conversations I had with people from all walks of life. Overall, I am grateful for this experience showing me once again how music is a powerful unifying force and that despite the different names for scales (or maqams!), the sound itself is a language intuitively understood by all.”

T-minus 21 days☀️🍎📚

Our today is on Sonja Woolley, 24’,🌲⛺️📸

“I’ve spent the past three months in the idyllic setting of Western North Carolina, working at a summer camp as a photographer and the multi-media intern! I could never have hoped for a better summer gig — I get to grow my technical and professional skills in media while also hanging out with cool kids and even cooler staff. As a photographer, I get to float around and participate in all the activities, while capturing the campers throughout their day so that parents can keep up with what their kids are doing. I’ve been into the backcountry, gone rafting, been square dancing, and just in general shared in the silly vibe of camp as much as possible. What other job gets to perform one night in drag and the next moment go roll a white water kayak? But truly, working with kids while watching them grow in their love of the outdoors has been super rewarding. It’s also genuinely been such a wonderful experience working with a media team that have helped me grow to not only be a better photographer, but be a better person.“

The Claremont Colleges are back on the road! Representatives from each of the 5C’s will be hosting programs in Berkeley, CA, Portland, OR, and Renton, WA this August. During each program you can discover what makes our consortium unique, hear more about our distinctive colleges, and learn more about the selective college admission process. You will also have the opportunity to meet individually with admission representatives from each school. More information and registration is available here: https://connect.cmc.edu/portal/claremontcolleges. We can’t wait to meet you!

Today we have Nandini Mittal, class of 2022, for 😇!! We asked Nandini about her favorite parts of CMC:

“What I love most about CMC is the willingness of this community to motivate and lift each other up. Whether it is through resources and support made accessible by faculty and staff, or students supporting one another in their extracurriculars, the CMC community has really felt like a family to me. It’s a heartwarming feeling to see others actively wanting, and helping, you to thrive in an environment that was pretty daunting when I first arrived as an international student. Four years later, I am so proud to call this place a home and am incredibly thankful for the people that have made my time here so special.”

Sudent government hard at work 😎‼️⭐️
