Antioch College Spring ’14 Co-op Swap
In order to graduate, every Antioch student spends four terms in full-time work or research experiences, testing what they’ve leaned in immersive real-world settings. Each quarter when students return to campus, Antioch College holds a festive Co-op Swap for students to share stories about where they went, what they engaged in, and what it meant to them. Student Frank Adam Fortino created this fun mash-up of a few student voices during the Spring ’14 Co-op Swap held on Antioch College’s historic campus in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
Yoga Springs owner new director of Wellness Center
Recently, Antioch College officials announced that Yoga Springs owner/director Monica Hasek has been named the new director of the school’s new Wellness Center. The center, an upgrade of the former college gym, will have cost around $8 million when it opens to the public late this summer or early fall.
Hasek, a professional interior decorator and realtor as well as yoga teacher, will replace Becky Harrison, who was hired in February but left the job two weeks ago. According to Dorothy Roosevelt, the Wellness Center project lead, college leaders sought someone local to replace Harrison so as to move forward as quickly as possible. Hasek, who had met several times with Roosevelt to discuss visions for the new center, seemed the perfect choice for the job, according to Roosevelt..
“When I got the phone call, I couldn’t resist,” Hasek said recently regarding the opportunity to “expand what I was already doing and create a broader wellness community.”
The facility has been designed to meet the needs of the community as well as the college, and leaders hope that membership costs will be comparable to area fitness centers, Hasek said. All aspects of the old gym have been upgraded, with new windows, lighting and flooring throughout, a new floor plan, and an expanded pool in a natatorium with a south-facing wall of glass.
