Common Day of Learning

Cor 401 StudentsThis 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.
