SST 112: Founder's Seminar

Founder's Seminar (SST 111-112) is a two-semester study of a single topic that is intellectually challenging for students and faculty; some of the topics studied include "Evidence," "Passion," "Edges & Middles," and "Friction and Flow."  In the fall, students discuss presentations on the topic made by faculty from the different disciplines and professions.  In the spring, students develop their scholarly voices as tehy work on topically-organized individual projects which they present to their classmates.  Students earn 1.5 credits (Pass/Fail) each semester.  These courses are required for all entering first-year students and count toward their elective requirements.  Founder's can be an entry point for the Russell Sage Honors program, Honoring Women's Voices.
