What This Learning Community Is About
 Performers
and the Artists learning community invites first-year students to live in
a residential community and share their class experience in the
first year seminar course Augustine and Culture Seminar
(called ACS). Through specially designed sections of the first year
seminar (a year long interdisciplinary class required of all freshmen), students
focus on Ancient to Modern drama, art, and music, and their history, context,
and performance.
Students in Performers and Artists learning community will:
- attend theatrical and musical performances both on and off campus, as well
as discussions afterwards with faculty and students. Students will also
visit art museums.
- be enrolled in one of the designated sections of the first year seminar
(ACS) associated
with the learning community.
- live in
Katharine Hall in a co-educational setting with their ACS
classmates.
- be taught by ACS professors who are working together through their class
material to focus on the drama, art, and music, and their history, context,
and performance of the Ancient and Modern worlds.
Living Together
Students live together in Katharine Hall so they have the chance to get to know their
hall mates and classmates both in and out of the building and classroom. Because
the students are studying the same course material in their respective sections
of ACS, students can share ideas whether or not their closest
friends are in their same section of the class.
Getting Connected
Students in the program are encouraged to make connections between their academic
pursuits and the choices they make in their day-to-day lives. In addition,
students are expected to participate actively in the life of the Katharine Hall
community, which includes programs offered by both faculty and the residence life
staff.
