Scholarly Things

William Badarak 1	Landon Banister 3
Trigg Burrage 13	Andrew Bogage 2
Rosalee Chan 3	Elizabeth Corey 7
Trey Trevino 13	Alicia Dominguez 4 These are nametags I had to print off for the Scholars Luncheon. DEAN BOWEN spoke about "Epistemology and Phenomenology" and proposed the question,  "HOW WOULD YOU  RE-ORGANIZE  A UNIVERSITY?"  I would keep the majors that we have, and keep half of the general education requirements (GEC). However, I would add a required mini-minor where you have to do an "independent study minor". Instead of a typical minor, you create your own curriculum. You can take classes in any of the schools at any level. You would have to propose to a council why these classes would work together, and after each semester continue on this analysis. A faculty advisor would help guide you through the process if you get off track. After you have completed all of the classes in this minor, you would have a capstone or final term paper that reflects on how this minor benefited your initial goal, vision, or area of interest.
