All FYS courses include  a forth hour for course-related activities like WA conferences, and for co-curricular events that provide fresh perspectives and new ways of thinking about questions raised by the course material.  We’ll use our fourth hour most weeks (but not every week).  See the schedule for a list of 4th-hour events already booked, and make a note of those dates on your calendar.  I will also post reminders on Moodle as the dates approach.  If your academic or athletics schedule creates conflicts for any 4th hour events, let me know asap.

In addition to events listed on the schedule, we will take a field trip to the Lakota Wolf Preserve in New Jersey.  So that we can find a date, take this poll by Monday 8/31 and indicate your availability!  We will go with the date that works best for most of you.
