Weekend of Fun

On Saturday we hosted another preview for prospective students and their families. It was amazing amounts of fun. The students that attended seemed genuinely excited about learning and the adventures of higher education. I had great discussions about the realities of interdisciplinary learning, creating one's own degree, living off campus and the in's and out's of social circles at Prescott College. Prospective students were also invited to attend introductory classes hosted by a number of our faculty. The one I sat in on was "Why Religion Matters" by Cultural and Regional Studies departments faculty, Grace Burford. It was an amazing introduction to class dynamics at PC and how within each curriculum we support Critical Pedagogy.
My favorite part of the day had to be the student panel at the end of the night. I remember listening to the insight shared by a student panel at my orientation. At that time I was new to the whole PC world and their experiences were priceless to me. I hope that the wisdom we shared, as current students, with the possible new comers was equally as helpfully. The entire experience reminded me why I love this school and why I want other students to have an equally rich educational experience.
