Required course for all incoming Freshman students.
This course will introduce students to the diverse cultures of the United States and our local community. The impact of race and racism will be examined through the exploration and the understanding of systems of power and the struggles of peoples of color and other historically marginalized and disenfranchised communities. Students will learn about the contributions of various ethnic groups to our rich cultural history and society. They will be enriched with a better understanding of the world and be empowered to work toward a socially just society as aligned with our Ignatian principles.
