101年智慧

(Fall semester of First-year) 

“Education is an excellent way of moving beyond trauma to a place of agency, 信心, 控制, 社区, 护理, 激进主义, 和贡献.” 凯茜戴维森

The foundation of a Wesleyan 教育, 101年智慧是一个跨学科的研讨会，向一年级学生介绍12博官方网站的学术生活，并帮助他们发展口语和听力技能，从而在差异之间建立理解. 该课程模拟了12博官方网站多样化和具有挑战性的学术社区，并帮助学生过渡到12博官方网站的参与密集型, seminar-style classes, where all voices and perspectives become part of the learning experience. 

12博官方网站的教育培养学生勇敢地交流他们的真理，并成为当地和全球背景下变革的推动者. In 101年智慧, 学生向老师学习，也向彼此学习，探索不同的观点, deepening meaningful discussions, and working together to develop critical thinking skills. 101年智慧 learning outcomes help students to:

1. Read actively and synthesize complex ideas.
2. Analyze and explain texts and information to others.
3. Think critically about large, complex, and ongoing real-world issues.
4. 通过写作和演讲在团队中进行有效和专业的沟通.
5. 支持 ideas with evidenced-based reasoning skills.
6. Research ideas further on library databases.
7. Facilitate engaging, evidence-based, and collaborative discussions.

12博官方网站也明白，今天的学生是在多重社会压力和个人创伤的背景下进入大学的, so we put a premium on self-护理. Along with critical thinking and communication skills, 101年智慧教授认知同理心和正念策略，帮助学生自我评估, 解压缩, and face the challenges of the current moment.

当前这一代人面临着许多挑战，需要强大的循证推理技能来适应新形势，并为变革而协同工作. For over a decade, we’ve partnered with the Interactivity Foundation 并且使用了他们的促进式讨论方法——与商业领袖使用的方法相同, 教育, and government use to address complex and ongoing real-world problems, such as 教育 reform and the climate crisis. 每个星期, 学生们以小组形式会面，并就种族正义等话题进行自己的课堂讨论, LGBTQIA +权利, 性别平等, 气候变化, and the purpose of a liberal arts 教育. In this flipped-classroom model, 12博官方网站的教师作为教练帮助学生发展口语和听力技能作为讨论的参与者, and planning and facilitation skills as discussion leaders. Through these weekly student-led discussions, students create close bonds as they get to know each other as thinkers, 以及强大的沟通技巧，这将帮助他们在整个大学生涯中成为积极和投入的学习者.

第一个Gen-Day

(National Day Celebration is November 8th- 2nd Week of November )

An event to celebrate the success of first-generation college students, 教师, and staff on Wesleyan’s campus. 第一代学生是家庭中第一个上大学的毕业生，他们进入(或毕业于)四年制学院或大学. 

Here are a few quotes from Wesleyan 教师 and staff:

“作为第一代大学生，我感到自豪和成就感."

- Kristi Peavy, BS, Georgia Southwestern State Univiersity; MS, Valdosta State University

"Being a First Generation College student meant a way to make my mother proud. She worked 3 jobs to give me the tools I'd needed to (in her words) 'do things better' than she did. 我很高兴有机会让她感到骄傲，并向我的家人证明教育很重要."

- Dr. 维吉尼亚B. 威尔科克斯90年,
Auburn University 1993 and 2005

“作为第一代大学生，我有能力面对挑战. Those first few years in college, than later in graduate school, provided me with a lot of practice in navigating new situations, which absolutely carried over into other areas of my life. 回顾, 我知道我能够解决的每一个问题都成为我继续前进的动力."

- Dr. 布鲁克Bennett-Day
BS, Valdosta State University; MS, Florida State University; PhD, Florida State University
