Faculty: Jin Darney, Eddie Maiava, Rudy Martin, Norma Alicia Pino, Christine Wagner,and Sonja Wiedenhaupt Class Standing: Freshmen. This program/course has been designed to provide incoming first-year students with an introduction to the resources, tools and practical skills you will need to do college-level work. Beginning the Journey will also help you to establish important connections within the College, as well as recognize and improve the skills you will need to become a successful college student and engaged community member. The course begins on Monday, September 17 and will meet daily through September 21 (Orientation Week). You will also meet for workshops, discussions, or other scheduled activities for two hours per week during the first five weeks of Fall Quarter. Beginning the Journey will include a common reading component. This book will be selected soon. We will either send your complimentary copy or make arrangements for you to receive it by late July. You will also receive a Reader's Guide and related information about how we will use this text. As a participant in this program and part of its learning community, you are asked to read this book before arriving on campus in September. We are confident that you will find it an engaging, informative, evocative part of this program and your learning experience at Evergreen. NOTE: You should also register for a full-time (16-credit) academic program. This 2-credit program would be an addition to your full-time program, but at no extra cost if you register for 10 - 18 credits. See the Programs for Freshman page.
