Summer is a time to take a deep breath, enjoy the warm weather, and also learn new things. With its vibrant summer scene, world-class performances at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, and engaging summer programming at the College, Saratoga Springs is a great place to enjoy the summer.

This summer has been no exception: Students and faculty are pursuing collaborative research projects, the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery is hosting new exhibitions and other events that are open to the public, prospective students are visiting campus, and 鶹ƽ students are participating in a range of activities to advance their career goals and support sustainability initiatives at the College. Those on campus are also engaging in new pursuits – like an outdoor painting course taught by a chemistry professor. There was even a marriage proposal!

Here are a just a few scenes from this summer at 鶹ƽ.
