Chicago Fine Arts Trip for all Freshmen students It is hard to
choose just one, but I think the Chicago trip was definitely a
highlight of my time at Randolph because it served as a unifying
trip for the whole class. In all honesty, as a freshmen you are
only thinking about having fun on a trip like that, and the Chicago
experience did not disappoint in the fun category. It was so great
that I came back as a senior to help the freshmen have an equally
thrilling experience. Recent Alumni Survey Result: What was your
most meaningful interim experience? Why was it meaningful?

Slide 41
Closing Comments More Alumni Comments Interim is a time at
Randolph when students and teachers come together and bond over
something that is not directly classroom related. While interim
needs to remain a learning experience, it allows for students and
teachers who might not normally spend time together to forge new
relationships. They were some of the best experiences that I had
that were completely unique to Randolph School
Slide 42
I really regret my lack of interest in the career exploration
options, surely it would have been very helpful. I liked that the
school gave you time for courses outside of the normal academic
classes. It gave the teachers a chance to share their other talents
and it gave a dedicated time period for class trips. I always
thought interim was a great idea.
