OS32 has begun Project X (which is Top Secret, even though I know some alumni have definitely leaked information) and with it, a period of self directed research that has already proven to be far-reaching. True to our nature of constantly developing and reworking our curriculum, students are now writing investigative reports in conjunction with their art projects. Happily, we have a new relationship with the Napa Valley Community College who has graciously welcomed us into their beautiful McCarthy Library for online research workshops and to access their collections - a big thank you to them! Oxbow students now have the opportunity to broaden their research horizons and experience a collegiate atmosphere just a bike's ride away!
Check back for more secretive updates on Project X during the next few weeks.

And then a REAL sneak peek into our lives: how we deal with a flat tire, 7 students, and 1 car.
