Common Day of Learning
This
spring Greenville College seniors took over campus for the first annual
Common Day of Learning, a day given over to senior presentations
centered on a common theme. Seniors,working in diversified small
groups, were required to integrate their disciplines and present a
response to this year 's multi-dimensional real world issue, Human
Sexuality. Some of the titles of this year 's senior projects included:
Controlling My Ovaries:The Pill and Its Controversy, Sex in Your City,
Gender Roles within Different Religious Constructs, and The Effects of
Aids on Pop Culture and Vice Versa. Faculty,staff and students attended
sessions through the day,beginning with a brief Convocation led by
President Mannoia.
The Common Day of Learning
served as a culmination of the COR 401 Senior Capstone Seminar course,
which began with a senior retreat in the fall and continued throughout
the year with Saturday classes led by President Mannoia and faculty in
various fields. Course discussion topics included false intimacy,
homosexuality,and gender differences.
