- Because learning has been found to be more successful in cross-disciplinary situations,
we hope to increase student learning by providing a central focus for year-long
activities (films, speakers, artists, plays) that incorporate as many of the departments
on campus as possible.
- Because learning has been found to be more successful when it incorporates discussion,
we hope to create a college-wide discussion on current events and their implications
for us as Americans and human beings by facilitating a series of events related
to a broad theme. We also plan to use the theme to select a Core Book to add a classroom
basis to the theme.
- Because learning has been found to be more successful when it engages students’
interest, we hope to facilitate a series of student-oriented events through the
Associated Student and Instructionaly Related Program clubs throughout the year
- events created by and for students.
- Because student retention has been found to increase when students make a commitment
to campus, we hope that the integration of classroom learning, the core book, club
participation, and college-wide theme events will encourage students to become involved
in the campus community and bring them closer to graduation.
