Courses are distinct but connected

Group activities possible,

not just the LC dinner or excursion

THE FYE: NUTS AND BOLTS

Service Learning

Good: Gets students out, doing community service with some class-connected assessment (essay, presentation, debate, etc.)

Better: Good + thoughtful link to class/classes content

Best: Better + helps define this particular LC beyond the actual activity

THE FYE: NUTS AND BOLTS

DC Excursions be aware that many students have come to DC in high school, so

emphasize the different way of looking at excursion activity (e.g., philosophical, rhetorical, theological)

use the Primer to expand approach (e.g., Keats’ poem and art object)

the context of the event is more important than the event proper; even if goal for making the excursion “relevant” is less than successful, it creates a common experience/reference

popular choices: National Portrait Gallery Newseum Library of Congress National Gallery Holocaust Museum

consider carefully what’s nearby Soldier’s cemetery (“How do people mourn?”) National Arboretum (has the original Capitol Rotunda columns) Basilica (possible second excursion, as it’s not “off-campus”?)

look at “non-tourist” trips (awareness of under-represented groups)

LC Dinners Required: one per semester

Paired LCs can be combined, certainly
