IDS
250: Inclusive Leadership and Social Responsibility, Community Applications
Whitney Retallic. TR 1-2:15
Building on the knowledge and practice of inclusive leadership and social
responsibility (ilsr) which students gain in IDS 200, IDS 250 will have
students taking a more in-depth look at the concepts of ilsr and, more
specifically, how to utilize ilsr in their own lives and how to apply
the concepts of ilsr in the service of a community partner, through a
semester-long service-learning group project. Students will also explore further
the role of diversity and conflict/conflict resolution in the practice of
ilsr. This course is a required course for students who would like to
participate in the ilsr Certificate Program. (Note:
Students who took IDS 200 in Spring 2008 and who wish to pursue the ilsr
Certificate do NOT have to take IDS 250 for the Certificate Program.
Therefore, this class would be ideal for students who took IDS 200 in Spring
2005, Spring 2007, or Fall 2008, who wish to pursue the ilsr Certificate.)

EXL 115, "The Conflict Initiative".
Melissa Yoffe. TR 4-5:15
We are excited to introduce a new, 2-credit course for the Spring ‘09. This
experiential course is open to First Year Students ONLY and is ideal for those
who:
…want to have a direct impact on building and/or strengthening relationships
within our community.
…learn best when they are involved in an active, project-based learning
opportunity which engages them around a real-life issue or problem.
…would like to take a 2-credit elective course which focuses on conflict and how
it manifests itself in our community.
The class size will be small and students will have an opportunity to work
closely with one another and the instructor to deeply analyze and learn about
our community in relation to conflict and develop a set of potential strategies
to help our community function better. The optional continuation course in the
Fall will focus on carrying these strategies forward. Please note: This course
is being considered as an option to fulfill an ILSR Certificate Program
requirement
IDS 201, "Mentoring".
Prof. Ramirez. Time TBS. 2-credits
Sophomore Colloquium: T @ 12 or W @ 5:30
A 2-credit career oriented course that connects the college learning
objectives to the real world of work. The colloquium also is a great and easy
way to complete your sophomore portfolio.
