What is the Three-College Wintersession Program?
The Three-College Winter Session is a program in which four students from each college, Babson, Wellesley, and Olin, work together as a team of consultants to help out an organization ways that can tie in our diverse set of skills and perspectives. Participants will live together for two weeks in a Babson dorm, will work at Olin College during the day, and all of their meals are provided by the program. The program started two years ago with a project related to pedagogy at the three colleges, and last year we worked together to help out Zimba, an MIT-based startup led by Laura Stupin, that was doing field tests in India to help properly chlorinate water. One of our participants, Dante Santos, wrote a great entry describing his experience this January. Food and lodging will be provided by the three colleges.

When will this happen?
January 6th - January 18th

Am I eligible?
Applicants must be undergraduate students enrolled at one of the three schools. Only sophomores, juniors, and seniors will be accepted into the program - first years are encouraged to apply next year!

Who are we partnering with?
This year, we are partnering with Practically Green, a Boston-based, sustainability company. Practically Green is a young, dynamic company that works with different communities to engage members in practical sustainable living through innovative, fun social networking. The three-college team will work closely with Practically Green to develop their presence on college campuses utilizing the diverse set of skills brought to the project by participants from the three schools.
