Honors forum will focus on the environment
|
The USI Honors Program will present its 10th annual Issues for the 21st Century discussion forum at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 4, in UC 201-202 in the University Center. This year’s topic is “The Environment.” Students in the Honors 101 course Issues for the 21st Century have been considering this issue during the fall 2007 semester and will lead deliberation on the topic in the forum. A deliberative forum is not a debate, but rather a moderated discussion where the participants work toward making choices involving the public policy issue. During the forum, participants will consider how they can act on the problem and what policy they think is best for our society. Participants will weigh the costs and consequences of various options and what they are or are not willing to do in addressing this issue. The USI Honors Program offers enhanced opportunities to students who show promise of outstanding academic achievement, to develop verbal and written communication skills, critical thinking, and investigative learning. The forum is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Those interested in attending should reserve a seat by contacting Dr. Dane M. Partridge, associate professor of management and director of the Honors Program, at 812/465-7085. Wendy Knipe Bredhold News and Information Services 812/461-5259 wkbredhold@usi.edu |
