HON 182 Honors Colloquium 2
1.5 hours
Honors Colloquium 2 is the second half of the year-long colloquium course requirement for new students in the Honors Program and the Macaulay Honors College at John Jay College. This course begins to develop students’ understanding of the central theme of John Jay’s Honors Program, the common good, through both scholarly inquiry and personal reflection. Students will be introduced to how different disciplines, interdisciplinary fields, and professional communities of practice address significant common good topics through research. As they learn about how scholars and professionals engage with issues relevant to their communities and the wider world, students will reflect on their own social location and experiences, and how it shapes their perspective and interests. With support from a peer mentor, students will learn to craft an intellectual, academic, and professional narrative framing their academic and professional journey, integrating classroom and experiential learning, extracurricular opportunities, research, and postgraduate goals.
Prerequisite
None.
