Navigating the Academy

1.0 credits

This is a course for students interested in becoming connected to the resources and services offered through the Kearns Center. It explores the shared individual and group narratives of its participants, primarily focusing on the first year of college. The course will function as a way for students to identify resources and crucial issues that impact their lives here at the UR specifically, and in higher education generally. Through readings, guest speakers, small and large group discussions, and informal in-class writing assignments, students will increase their understanding of how to make the most of their college experience. Preference is given to first-generation college students in their first or second year.
