Welcome to Spring Semester of Rediscovering San Diego!
Although we won't have a live Zoom class this week, we invite you to watch this 44-minute video on the history of the world.
We'll be traveling around the world this semester, meeting a variety of people, cultures, and learning about their history.
What better way to gain an understanding of our human existence than review our vast history?

Final Thoughts
...or perhaps we should say STARTING THOUGHTS!
So much to think about when we consider where human civilizations began, and where we are today.
As we begin our tour of rediscovering San Diego and the globe, keep in mind how we are a product of our history.
