ECHOs
ECHOs are the equivalent of college electives, offering dozens of opportunities for illuminative learning in topics as diverse as Justice, the Concept of Infinity, and Poetry in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Read more about the WRA ECHO program here.
ECHOs are a wonderful opportunity for both students and faculty to explore academic passions outside the constructs of a traditional class. These modules include guest speakers, unique travel experiences and hands-on experiential opportunities.
