Month of Diversity Meanwhile, as the upperclassmen enjoyed their tour abroad, the freshmen were participating in the Freshmen Skills Course under the guidance of the Career Center Staff. In addition to learning via listening to various lectures, the freshmen also made improvements on campus. Groups of students performed such services as decorating a room in the infirmary and in upstairs Morrison, plus painting the swing in front of the library. The other students left on campus in January took such classes as Career Planning. The Golden Age of New York, and the nursing class for upperclass- men nursing students. Moreover, many students, such as sophomore Paula Brown, interned with local businesses like the Mint Museum.
