CONN 113 | All the Way Outside

In this class, students will literally and figuratively explore the outdoors on campus and around Tacoma, and learn to notice things they might miss when they are too busy ¿in the grind.¿ They will learn about how scientists, social scientists, and artists are thinking differently about the importance of equitable access to outdoor spaces. Relatedly, this class will help students learn how to create the mental spaces that help them do our best learning with others¿in college and beyond. Students should expect to learn a lot about themselves, explore the green spaces of Tacoma, and build relationships with other students. Together, the class will share what they have learned by engaging in a student-directed collaborative class project to help the Puget Sound community take a break from the hustle and have some fun while they explore and notice the natural world.
