The High Mountain Institute visit to Williams College, scheduled for 8 pm tonight, has been cancelled.  The person who was coming to visit asked me to send you this:

The High Mountain Institute (HMI) is located in Leadville, CO (between
Breckenridge, Vail and Aspen). Our Apprentice Program is a
professional residency in traditional and outdoor education for
college graduates. Apprentices participate as students and teachers in
support of the HMI semester, a four-month program for high school
juniors. The semester combines a rigorous college preparatory
curriculum with three multi-week wilderness expeditions and a strong
residential life component. In this environment, apprentices gain
experience teaching in a classroom setting, leading groups in the
wilderness of Colorado and Utah, and acting as advisors in residential
life. Apprentices attend a seminar twice weekly in which they
participate in discussions about education and their personal teaching
experience. We accept seven apprentices a semester in the following
subject areas; English, Spanish, History, Wilderness, Science, and
Math. If you are interested in being a part of a community that values
knowledge, personal growth, and challenge then visit our website
www.hminet.org for more information and to view a slide show and movie
about the program. We have had a total of eight Williams alums come
join us in Leadville (during our 15 years) and we hope to continue
this strong relationship. Applications are due February 15th for both
the fall and spring semester.
