This first-year seminar offers you the opportunity to read and discuss some classic writing about human relationships with the natural world, and to make your own contribution to this literature. It also offers a chance for 50 minutes each week to improve your attention skills by turning off your cell phone, tablet, and laptop; by putting aside your personal concerns and the pressures of school; and to experience what is in front of you in the present moment.
Freshmen Only
