Supervised on-the-job CAGS school psychology experience. Work includes delivery of indirect and direct services in the areas of assessment, prevention, intervention, case management, and system level service delivery.

This course is intended for non-voice majors or minors who are interested in singing musical theater repertoire. Students will learn 4 songs to be performed from memory. At least one, but not more than two of these will be an ensemble piece. In addition to the performance aspect of the course, students will have listening assignments geared towards broadening their understanding of the evolution of musical theater from the mid-twentieth century onward.

Who are the real people that drive discovery? Explore stories of the characters behind the science, from the self-made doctor who performed the first heart surgery to the Hollywood actress who invented the foundation for today's cell phone and Bluetooth technologies. We will reflect on how anyone can think like a scientist, since we all possess an innate curiosity about the world around us. Class activities will explore how to inspire this curiosity in yourself and others. Come ready to dive into some remarkable stories that didn't show up in your high school science textbook!

Ever wonder how the Science of Food impacts your eating choices? Have a friend - or are the one - that hates cilantro? This is the world of Sensory Science, where we will study the relationship between your five senses and their influence on everyday food choices. Prepare your eyes, ears, tongue and mind: we'll challenge your sensory perception! (Please note: This is not a cooking class.)

How do we relate to nature? How do we survive climate change? Why do narratives matter? Climate change and our relationships to nature have increasingly dominated a significant amount of space in our personal lives, and in the narratives that circulate through the media. While answers exist, some are more privileged, and others are not afforded enough examination. In this course, we will explore and examine the dominant, and often invisible narratives around climate change and environmental issues so that we can learn and envision how to survive together.

How do we communicate discoveries? Capturing the essence of a concept and expressing it to a broader audience is the key to success in both science and art. We will be investigating how to get ideas to reach beyond their creators through the intersection of the scientific and artistic methods, focusing on the processes with which both scientists and artists engage with the world to collect, interpret and translate information. We will be conducting hands-on activities and exploring resources on campus, ultimately producing our own showcase of science communication through art.

Everyone needs to eat! How are major food crops developed to feed the world? In this course we will learn how conventional breeding and modern genetic techniques are used by scientists for crop improvement. What is the biology underlying these methods? What does it mean for a plant to be genetically modified? What resources exist to improve crops to face current food security issues such as changing environmental conditions, pest management, and increasing demand? Apply your knowledge and propose your own food security solution at the end of the semester!

This course explores how writers and readers create fictional worlds. Drawing from philosophy, linguistics, psychology, and other cognitive sciences, we will investigate individually and collaboratively questions such as: What is creativity? What is a narrative and how do we determine the genre of creative work? What makes an artwork complete? How do audiences use imagination to (re)create fictional worlds? We will also investigate why and how we fear and suffer with fictional characters, and whether there are limits to our capacities to imagine empathetically.
