Thank you for all of your support and interest in this project. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">As part of the First-year Program, each of these professors will teach a one-unit colloquium on a topic of their choice – usually related to our theme “Human Rights: Beyond Borders,” and possibly using our common reading book, TC Boyle’s <u>Tortilla Curtain</u>. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">All honors students take a one-unit seminar in their first semester; about two thirds of the entering class takes a seminar taught by one of these professors. The other third of our entering students take Paladins, which is a course directed primarily toward first-generation college students. We will be opening enrollment to these courses during the three honors orientation sessions in June. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Most honors students will attend those orientation sessions (June 8-9, 14-15 and 21-22). We will be making sure that the honors sections and courses available for general education are open during those sessions. For those students who attend a different orientation session, we will be holding meetings to introduce them to our First-year Program.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">We have met with most of you to discuss planning and to offer support for those three Orientation Sessions. Please contact me at any time if we can be of further help, or if you have any questions at all.
