One of the most exciting aspects of Wittenberg University's Connections Curriculum is FIRE Week: Focused, Integrated, Reflective, Experience. During this time, students have a chance to engage in-depth with faculty, staff and other students on a wide range of topics.
The possibilities are as rich and varied as the people at Wittenberg, and the educational experiences have taken students, faculty, and staff members across the United States and event to countries in Europe and Central America.
