Think Outside: Transitioning into the Eckerd Experience
This course is specifically designed as an AT experience for transfer students. Think Outside is an exciting, seminar-style course that will provide an introduction to the curriculum that lies at the core of our identity as a liberal arts college. We will follow the core beliefs from “People over Profit” and will read important works of literature to think about who we are in the world and what we value most. We will engage with the stories and experiences of others as we think about empathy, imagination, and human potential. We will see how text- and discussion-based learning can help us form a community of learners together to determine our paths and contribute to a sustainable world. Along the way, students will also get acquainted with the academic requirements specific to Eckerd College and with the support services and many curricular and extracurricular opportunities that are available. At the conclusion of this class, transfer students will be both well informed about the college and fully equipped to take advantage of all that EC has to offer!
