Student Profile

“CNR has given me opportunities that I
wouldn’t have had if I went to a
different school or a bigger school. I get one-on-one attention from my
teachers and everyone knows my name. I am going to study abroad and
that’s unique because Dr. Beauzethier approached me about doing it and
encouraged me. That wouldn't have happened at a bigger school.”

Pictured

The major enterprise of
human beings has always been to know themselves
in relation to the surrounding world. Through the liberal arts
discipline in the School of New Resources, the "Journey to Ways of
Knowing" seminar equips students with an understanding of the self.
In this seminar, students analyze and synthesize the
interrelatedness
of the of the liberal arts and explore humankind’s quest for meaning
and understanding themselves in relation to the surrounding world.
Students presented their experiential research with posters on January
25, 2011, as part of a greater Life Arts Project.
