Community Engaged Learning is a freshman seminar\u00a0course\u00a0designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop and apply critical reading and writing skills while engaging in the examination of issues impacting both local and global communities. Through the combination of classroom discussions, hands-on service projects, reflective exercises, and research, students will develop a deeper understanding of communities and the issues facing them.<\/p>\n

Throughout the course, students will explore societal challenges, partake in 5 hours of community engaged learning activities, reflect on their experiences, and ultimately make research-based recommendations to ameliorate an issue. Students who enroll in this course should have an interest in exploring societal issues and a willingness to engage in hands-on service projects.\u00a0 By the end of the course, students will have a foundational understanding of community engagement as a means of addressing social issues and promoting positive change. They will have developed skills in communication, collaboration, and critical thinking, and will be equipped with practical tools for engaging with and making a positive impact in their communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

This class will provide an opportunity to examine the transformation process in Korean culture from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. In addition, it will focus on broadening the perspective on cultural fusion in the future.<\/p>\n

Laura Valente<\/strong>
\nAdjunct Faculty<\/p>\n

State laws and U.S. Supreme Court decisions have a tremendous influence on your liberty and safety. Increasingly, Presidential Executive Orders and actions taken by federal agencies are also having a profound impact on the rights of those within the U.S. Recent laws, Executive Orders, and federal court decisions have restricted access to reproductive rights, limited voting rights, permitted book banning and removal of museum exhibits, reduced environmental protections, taken action against transgender people, made it easier to obtain assault style weapons, and perhaps most publicly, expanded federal action against immigration. This course will explore the foundations of rights and liberties in the U.S., and the ways in which those rights can be threatened.<\/p>\n

John Peffer<\/strong>
\nProfessor of Art History<\/p>\n

In this class we discuss how mediums affect us, and we explore the human senses of sight, space, and sound through which we perceive the world. Mediums are what we use every day to exchange information, ideas, pictures, feelings, wealth, and things we want. A medium is something made into an image: your self dressing up, the pencil that makes a drawing, typed words of a story, a disk with music, a computer and screen. Mediums alter the messages they carry. A human face is not a painted face. A song about a mountain is not a mountain. Online news enables proliferation of deep fakes. Barter, paper money, and bitcoin– each creates a different kind of value. These mediums we use to communicate influence our thoughts and behavior whether one is aware of it or not. Thinking about them can lead to deeper understanding of how art, culture, politics, and economy work in society. <\/span><\/p>\n
