COVID-19
and Odyssey:
The Odyssey Office understands
that student plans for Odyssey experiences both domestically and
internationally can be affected by the response to coronavirus. This may
include the cancellation of travel plans, conferences, internship opportunities
or other experiences. Students
that have ongoing Odyssey experiences that are affected should read this document carefully.
We also encourage you to use our online forms for your
experiences, and you should contact us via email instead of in person. Please
know that your health and your education are important to us. If you have any
special concerns about your experience or upcoming graduation requirements,
please send an email to odyssey@hendrix.edu.
In addition, faculty and staff are encouraged to share
with the Odyssey Office experiences that students can participate in on a
remote basis by filling out this
online form. Students can see the list of already submitted opportunities here. Many Odyssey categories are represented on the list, which should give students a range of potential credits during the time students are away from campus.
The Odyssey Program
You learn more when you do more. That's the educational philosophy behind The Odyssey Program, an exciting component to our curriculum.
With six categories and plenty of flexibility, the Odyssey Program encourages all Hendrix students to embark on educational adventures that are personalized to their own interests and abilities.
In order to graduate, a student must complete at least three Odyssey experiences covering
three different categories. There are three ways of earning
Odyssey credits.
