CONN 181 | Friends

This class is primarily a ¿welcome-to-college¿ class¿ one that introduces you to a liberal arts education, to various departments and disciplines with their own distinct ways of asking questions, and to skills you will need for navigating college and careers. A major focus in the class will be developing connections through the class project. The class will alternate between class sessions that focus on your success as a college student and course content.
But this is also a course about friendship. How do we make friends? How do we effectively maintain friendships? What is the role of technology in modern friendship? What are the effects of friendship on well-being? We will take a multidisciplinary approach to exploring these questions by examining perspectives from a variety of fields.
