Ujamaa House Seminar

Catalog description

This two-unit seminar will expose students to various topics about the African Diaspora. Upperclassmen Pre-Assingnees will work closely with Ethnic Theme Associates/Resident Fellow to add breadth and depth to their presentations. To receive credit you must attend 7 theme programs (not including your own) and fill out Pre-Assignee evaluations provided by Ethnic Theme Associates. 1: Build a pre-assignee group that is very connected to the Ujamaa community; 2: Build a pre-assignee group that has the skills and resources to be resources for the community, and 3: create a space where pre-assignees and all residents can learn about and discuss topics that are meaningful to them. As such, our week-to-week format and content is varied and flexible. At the same time, attendance at all sessions is mandatory.
