  3. THE FYE: NUTS AND BOLTS Learning Communities PHIL 201/PHIL 211 HSPH 101 + ENG 101/ENG 101H or TRS 201/HSTR 101 • Courses are distinct but connected • All share an Undergraduate Advisor and Embedded Librarian • Group activities possible, not just the LC dinner or excursion

  4. THE FYE: NUTS AND BOLTS Service Learning • Good: Gets students out, doing community service with some class-connected assessment (essay, presentation, debate, etc.) • Better: Good + thoughtful link to class/classes content • Best: Better + helps define this particular LC beyond the actual activity

  5. THE FYE: NUTS AND BOLTS DC Excursions • be aware that many students have come to DC in high school, so emphasize the different way of looking at excursion activity (e.g., philosophical, rhetorical, theological) • use the Primer to expand approach (e.g., Keats’ poem and art object) • the context of the event is more important than the event proper; even if goal for making the excursion “relevant” is less than successful, it creates a common experience/reference • popular choices: • National Portrait Gallery • Newseum • Library of Congress • National Gallery • Holocaust Museum • consider carefully what’s nearby • Soldier’s cemetery (“How do people mourn?”) • National Arboretum (has the original Capitol Rotunda columns) • Basilica (possible second excursion, as it’s not “off-campus”?) • look at “non-tourist” trips (awareness of under-represented groups)

  6. THE FYE: NUTS AND BOLTS LC Dinners • Required: one per semester • Paired LCs can be combined, certainly • FYE reimburses up to $75 per LC (see form) • Think creatively! • Pancakes • Pizza • Pasta • Prosciutto?
