- Article spotlight: 聽by Pat Romano (Humanities).
Excerpt:聽 These concerns have led us to reflect repeatedly on how we can frame these discussions in ways that can effectively engage at least a significant majority of our students in a real exploration of these divisive issues 鈥� one that may be uncomfortable and indeed take them into places where they would rather not go. In the next section you will find a brief overview of some of the conclusions we have drawn as we have discussed the difficulties and successes we have had in the classroom and mulled over the insights offered by the theory of nonviolence 鈥� its call for us to find connections across divides, its promotion of a process of social change that engages us intellectually, emotionally and creatively, and its emphasis that changes in our hearts and minds become most likely during moments where the unexpected happens.

Learning at the Living Campus
October 13th, 2021
Last Thursday, first-year Environmental Science students in Brian Mader's General Biology I class were given the task of comparing the biodiversity of bacteria on two different surfaces. Students decided to head to the rooftop to compare the potential bacteria found in our two rooftop ponds. They compared soil samples with others on campus as well as sampled the surface of leaves. Results will be analyzed in a few weeks.
This is an example of learning outside the classroom on our Living Campus. If you would like to share your own experiences or those of your students, please write to cparsons@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
