UNIV 310 CREATING & MANAGING CHANGE Credits Fall 01
Each Tuesday from 2:30-5:30PM, this class will travel off campus to visit one
of the sites of a summer mentorship such the Read Commission, Baylor College of
Medicine, the Museum of Health and Medical Science, Enron, etc. Each
visit will
afford students the chance to talk with across-section of
mentors and learn
about the work of different organizations and the
challenges, opportunities and
ethical issues each faces. In addition,
students will be asked to meet a four
to five times during the semester on
Thursdays from 2:30-5:30. These sessions
will help students carry out the three
assignments for the class: One
assignment requires students, in groups of
three, to secure two mentorships for
the coming summer. The second
assignement involves working with a writing
consultant on two brief essays
for a Leadership Rice monograh. The third major
assignment is to do a
strategy paper that lays out the groundwork for a change
in some arena of
importance to the student. This paper will require students to
meet various
deadlines throughout the semester and it will help to develop
their
networking skills. The paper may relate to other work a student is doing
or
to goals after college. The class is three credits and is graded.
While
off-campus travel increases the time commitment for the class, the
seminars
do not require class preparations and there are no exams for the
class.

UNIV 321 CROSS-CULTURAL AWARENESS: CULTURES OF TH Credits 1.00 Fall 01

UNIV 323 CROSS-CULTURAL AWARENESS:RICE INTERNATIO Credits 1.00 Fall 01
A team-taught course that addresses the kind of comparisons and contrasts that
living abroad inevitably generates; especially intended both for students who
have spent substantive time outside the U.S. and for international students. We
want to initiate an internationally based seminar that helps participants
analyze and understand the personal and intellectual development that results
when their original culturally-acquired assumptions are challenged by the
experience of living in a new culture. Classroom exchanges will be enhanced by
projects focusing on experiential learning that will benefit the individual
students as well as the Rice community at large.
Limited enrollment to 50
