These
seminars are designed to enhance the
learning environment. We intend to prepare
students to live and work in the 21st
century, and to educate men and women
for responsible, informed citizenship
and meaningful employment. The seminars
are located in residence halls and designed
to create an environment where students
learn from each other in an atmosphere
of positive engagement, and mutual respect.
The seminars also serve to educate students
about the origins and effects of racism,
ageism, homophobia, religious intolerance,
and other forms of prejudice. Through
in-depth, small group discussions-facilitated
by faculty and staff-the seminars strive
to create a climate in which students
have the opportunity to challenge and
to explore perceptions and stereotypes. |
