Fall
2011
Learning cohorts at Howard University are not
classes! They are dynamic, vibrant communities
that offer the perfect atmosphere outside of the
classroom for encouraging the free flow of ideas
and rich conversation. All freshmen, new students,
and transfer students are invited to join. Each
cohort, consisting of approximately 5—10
participants, may be led by one dynamic individual
or a team of energetic volunteers (faculty, staff,
graduate students, and upperclassmen) who facilitate
discussions on intellectually stimulating topics
drawn from books, the media, or any source that
offers opportunities for rich conversation.
Teams can meet in the “usual
spaces” on campus, but may often find themselves
gathering in cafes, restaurants, museums, or even
chemistry laboratories-- where they can talk,
read, write, and debate issues of common interest.
Last year’s cohorts centered on such topics
as Harry Potter; Financial Literacy, LGBT Engagement;
Sister Talk, and Black Women in Film. Topics for
fall 2011 promise to be even more exciting.We
are excited about the possibilities and are seeking
your participation. Interested in joining a Learning
Cohort? Sign up via http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LearningCohortsatHowardUniversity or
stop by the Office of Student Activities, Suite
117 Blackburn University Center.
