Who Are You?

Catalog description

What makes you tick? How did you become who you are? Is there an I inside of you? "Who are You?" will explore what it means for people to seek knowledge, grow, struggle, and improve. We will investigate the nature of selfhood from a variety of angles, including technology, drugs, religion/spirituality, relationships, sports, health, and vocation--with a special focus on education and the quest for truth. The course will invite lots of self-reflection and give students broad leeway to work on a creative final project that allows them to answer the title of the course. The first year of college promises a number of emotional, cultural, and existential challenges, and although this course will not likely provide you with direct solutions to these challenges, it will help you develop strategies for discovering your own answers.
