Credits: 1

Prerequisite: First-year class standing. Assisting new students with their transition to Washington and Lee University, this course aims to foster a sense of belonging, promote engagement in the curricular and co-curricular life of the university, articulate to students the expectations of the University and its faculty, help students develop and apply critical thinking skills, and guide students as they clarify their purpose, meaning, and direction in college. In twelve one-hour sessions, students engage in the development of skills and traits such as active listening, empathy, integrity, bystander intervention, confrontation with compassion, and conflict mediation. Moreover, students improve their ability to inspire and teach success in a global and diverse society. Faculty, Student Affairs Staff.
