Students flew in from around the country to participate in this year’s Summer Intensive program in Salem, MA.  During the Summer Intensive, long distance students participate in an online course and then come face-to-face to live and learn together for a week.  The two courses are INSDSG 602- The Adult as Learner and INSDSG 604- Communications Theory in Organizations. This year students were bewitched by Salem’s quaint shops and eateries and enjoyed a visit to the UMass Boston campus.  This photo shows 602 students displaying their new UMass Boston student ID’s.  The students are well on their way to creating a community of learners whose relationships will transfer to online course work.
