The 22 newest members of the Wabash Liberal Arts Immersion Program (WLAIP) enjoyed a day of immersive experiences in Indianapolis. Half of the cohort visited the Indianapolis Rowing Center as part of the Athenian Citizen module, while the other half visited the Saraga International Market with the Food as a Liberal Art module. Warming up here on the ergometers at the Indianapolis Rowing Center are (from left) Allen Johnson Jr., peer mentor Trashan Clemons '21, Javier Que, Jeremy Soto, peer mentor Anthony Williams '20, Gabriel Sobrevilla, and Juan Montenegro.

One group leaves the dock for the first time under the guidance of IRC members Jack Wagner and Kaia Knox.

Soon, the group was moving quickly on Eagle Creek.

Purdie talks with WLAIP members in between relays competed on the ergometers. Pictured with Purdie are (from left to right) Chris French, Montenegro, Horacio Garcia-Rojas, Que, Barnes, and Alfredo Mar.

Juan Montenegro rows on the ergometer, while relay teammate Soto supplies encouragement.

The second group takes its turn with oars in hand.

Group cohesion takes a little practice.

Williams, Clemons, and Johnson compete in a relay while Soliz awaits his turn.

Professor Hartnett looks pleased with his 1,000-meters of effort on the ergometer.

The last 500 meters of a relay are the most difficult, as Williams shows here.

Soliz exerts maximum effort to finish his relay.

As its name indicates, the Saraga International Market caters to a large international clientele. While there, the students took part in a scavenger hunt of sorts to locate items and familiarize themselves with the market. (from far to near) Shewa Gared, Eugene Bhattanai, and Jeremy Norvell Jr. identify selections at the halal meat counter.
