REFLECTION -

Lead 1000 gave me a solid amount of basics that I was able to apply, learn, and grow from. During our time in the class we did many activities that required students to work together as a team and utilize our current leadership skills. Outside of putting our skills to use, we learn a lot about the different leadership theories and philosophies.

SOCY 1021

This course examines how concepts of race and ethnicity have manifested historically and manifest currently in U.S. society. Covers foundational concepts such as prejudice, discrimination, and privilege. Also addresses the structural causes and consequences of race and ethnicity in various aspects of U.S. society, such as the housing market, the criminal justice system, and education.

REFLECTION -

United States Race and Ethnic Relations focuses a lot on the society structures of different races and religions. We looked about what was going on during the time periods that influenced these societal structures. In addition, this course took a deep dive in who was being affected the most by unjust society structures and ways to combat those injustices.

Intercultural Communication

COMM 3410

COURSE DESCRIPTION -

This course explores complex relationships between culture and communication processes from various conceptual perspectives. Considers the important role of context (e.g., social, historical, and cultural) in intercultural interactions.

REFLECTION -

Intercultural Communication focuses on the different communication norms and practices throughout history and throughout different cultures and societies. We learned about how different ways of communication can express unique meaning and understanding. It’s not just when we communicate the same thing in different cultures it can have different meanings, it is also when communicating the same thing through different points of time in history.

ENVS 3140

COURSE DESCRIPTION -

This course examines major traditions in moral philosophy to see what light they shed on value issues in environmental policy and the value presuppositions of the economic, ecological, and juridical approaches to the environment.

REFLECTION -

Environmental ethics might be one of my favorite classes of all time! Throughout the course we looked at different society behaviors that impact the environment in negative ways. There was a focus on using the ideals of famous philosophers to analyze the damaging ways that are embedded in our society. Our course discussed what exactly our habits that are causing environmental destruction are and how we can value the environment more to make an actual change.

This course integrates leadership topics and experiences students pursued through the Leadership Studies Minor. Using advanced critical thinking skills, the seminar requires students to evidence their knowledge, competencies and skills related to leadership theory and practice through examining contemporary leadership challenges. Further, the seminar directs students to justify decision-making processes, demonstrating their ability to synthesize prior knowledge to effect desirable, ethical outcomes.

REFLECTION -

The leadership capstone course is one that refines who we have become as leaders. In this course we reflect on the things we have learned and discover that have shaped our paths to becoming leaders. This course provides the students an actual opportunity to be a leader and influence positive change through different projects. We also have a platform to discuss and hear the diverse perspectives of other leaders.
