<p>Deborah Curtiss pointed out she had copies of Scott Sanders&#8217; book on Antioch for sale.</p>
<p>Aimee Maruyama then introduced the day&#8217;s program presented by two Morgan Fellows<span style="text-decoration: underline;">:  Antioch College:  Its New Design for Liberal Education</span>.  The Morgan Fellows  present were Jean Gregorek and Beverly Rodgers.  Aimee described the concept of Morgan Fellows:  they are responsible for presenting to the Antioch College Board of Trustees a concept of the new college in January.  More details of the timetable were provided by Beverly later in  the meeting [see text below ].</p>
<p>The Morgan Fellows are all former faculty of the College.   Four have been selected; two vacancies remain.    Aimee said that the remaining Fellows are expected to be chosen from the field of science.</p>
<p>The Fellows have been touring the College alumni chapters in an effort to elicit ideas and comments for the curriculum they are developing for the Board in January.   In addition, they are responsible for  organizing symposia on various subjects in order to continue intellectual life on campus.</p>
<p>First to speak was Jean Gregorek,  professor of literature.  She taught at the College for 14 years and worked with Non-Stop for one year.  Currently, she is a Fellow and consulting with Ohio State, her place of employment before Antioch.  She spoke briefly about her responsibility in organizing the symposia.  The first was held two weeks ago, about life of immigrant workers, went well.  Subsequent topics include Native American cultural identity, prison reform, green innovations, issues in higher education centered around the liberal arts college.</p>
<p>Jean described thinking about the liberal arts curriculum in the context of the co-op experience.  This includes an international component of the co-op built into the curriculum,  i.e. required.</p>
<p>She quoted Algo Henderson&#8217;s definition of a liberal education.</p>
<p>Next to speak was Beverly Rodgers.  She is a professor of social anthropology at the College.   She described the Morgan Fellows&#8217; beginning in September;   the Fellows did not want to base their work  solely on their own experiences in the liberal arts.  Hence, these local presentations by the Fellows.</p>
<p>She described the ten-year longitudinal study by the Association of American Colleges and Universities on liberal arts education.  [ See suggested reading list distributed online and at the chapter meeting .]  She suggested that this article would qualify for some as a mission statement.</p>
<p>Beverly pointed out that our co-op is an extension of the liberal arts, not a pre-professional  model.  She added that this non-vocational model will be maintained.</p>
<p>She noted the importance of developing a plan for diversity on the campus for both faculty and student populations.  It is critical to have a diverse faculty before we recruit a diverse student body.  Also important is to ensure that everyone has access to higher education.</p>
<p>One goal Beverly described is to shape a curriculum for the Twenty-first Century which is inviting to this college generation, intellectually challenging,  and one requiring effort.</p>
<p>The meeting was then opened for discussion, questions, comments.</p>
<p>Pat Savadove proposed that the College be linked with specific Institutes, for example, the Integral Philosophy Institute, which studies cycles in human history.  There are several institutes with which Antioch might be interested in partnering.  Because these organizations do not fit the standard academic pattern, they are particularly attractive to today&#8217;s students.</p>
<p>Nick Sanders questioned the three-year plan.  He described the danger of attracting only a very directed student whose goals and interests are already decided before admission.  The Fellows replied that the three-year plan has not been decided; it&#8217;s possible that one could choose not to go through in three years.  Going three years for twelve months a year results in being one semester short of a typical four-year college program.</p>
<p>Aimee noted that in the past much time was spent photocopying articles, typing papers, gathering other resources &#8212; all of which has been much improved by technology.  The student&#8217;s prep time has been drastically reduced.</p>
<p>A Fellow added the idea of studying while on co-op.  For example,   language learning lends itself to study while working a co-op.</p>
<p>Ted Goertzel pointed out need to differentiate the College from the current liberal arts colleges.  He suggested that the College be centered on social organizing, i.e.,  working for social change, or social entrepreneurship, building organizations, companies and movements.  He expressed the view that the co-op jobs should be more closely integrated with the course work, which would be facilitaqted if they were with social change organizations.</p>
<p>Helen Mangelsdorf suggested that the College focus on training teachers, since the current teacher-training is very inadequate in our country.</p>
<p>Debbie Baken  said that, in contrast to teacher-training programs around the country,  the Antioch Education Department in the Seventies was unique and prepared the student well.  It was a theoretical approach on campus, with additional large amounts of student teaching provided via the co-op.  This resulted in educating the whole student.</p>
<p>Kathleen Corr described the question &#8220;What does what I learn in class have to do with the outside reality? &#8220;  This is the question not asked in other degree programs.  She suggested that, for this reason,  Antioch students might benefit from career counseling, common in other programs.  She also noted that the restoration aspect of science be used as a core concept;  e.g. environmental restoration linked to social justice. Research skills would be included.  She added that emotional education  [ feelings, needs, position of power ] be coupled with diversity in the curriculum.</p>
<p>Kathleen also   said that the College needed to re-connect with the many fellowship programs, which separated from the College over the years.</p>
<p>Debbie also urged  that inquiry-based learning be incorporated into the new plans.</p>
<p>Judy Gross suggested that a three-year curriculum is too short for students to mature and to digest what they are learning.  She also supported the idea of &#8220;basic education&#8221; being included.</p>
<p>Judy Voet stressed the importance of science and interdisciplinary science courses,  e.g. environmental science,  biomedical science  to future students.  She added that in the third year, work and study experiences should be integrated.  She said that alumni should help develop meaningful jobs for the co-op program.</p>
<p>This led to a brief discussion from the floor about jobs.  Is there anything that qualifies as a &#8220;menial job&#8221;   &#8212; or can students learn from the job experience, not necessarily the job itself.</p>
<p>Anne Kaplan said that learning from experience was the only way she learned while at Antioch.  She noted a need to inquire about  the pedagogy of experiential education.  What makes a work experience?</p>
<p>Robert Hernblad asked what would draw students to Antioch, as opposed to any other liberal arts college currently operating ?  He cautioned on narrowing the experience.</p>
<p>Raymond Tamarkin  said that exploration and inquiry are part of developing the thinking process.  We need to recognize that students shift in their interests.</p>
<p>Kathleen Corr added that there is a pressure to be focused on today&#8217;s students.  She suggested bringing high school students to YSO for a college experience.</p>
<p>Joan Stockton noted that the value of a co-op was not professional, rather life experience in the real world.  She added that the three-year model will attract a student who might not have considered college.</p>
<p>Bob Harmon noted that education is about learning and unintended consequences.  He pointed out the urgent need to integrate science into the other disciplines.</p>
<p>Mitzi Cooper added that Antioch engineering students had a much broader experience to other disciplines than students in traditional colleges.  She added that Antioch needs to maintain the breadth and openness that allows students to grow.</p>
<p>Dan Ayres, an online participant, threw out a question about definition of &#8220;core values.&#8221;  Audience members responded with critical thinking, social justice, curiosity, sustainability, openness, community .</p>
<p>Beverly closed the Fellows segment by discussing the timetable.  The Fellows have employed a marketing group to do focus group of 17 &#8211; and 18-year-olds.  By the third week in January, a draft of the curriculum will be presented to the College Board of Trustees  By June 2010, the curriculum must be complete.  An admissions director must be hired by June 2010 if the entering class is slated for Fall 2011.</p>
<p>She discussed the issue of accreditation by the North Central Accreditation Association and the Ohio Board of Regents.  We must prove that we have enough money to graduate the first class recruited in 2011.  Besides the curriculum issues, the money issue is stark: if there is insufficient  money to ensure that  graduation,  accreditation will be withheld.</p>
<p>Both Fellows Jean and Beverly invited the group to email them with any questions, comments, ideas.</p>
<p><a href="mailto:jgregorek@antiochcollege.org">jgregorek@antiochcollege.org</a><br />
<a href="mailto:brodgers@antiochcollege.org">brodgers@antiochcollege.org</a></p>
<p>Aimee closed the meeting with a discussion of alumni donations.  Currently, the percentage of Antioch alumni who donate is five percent.  The goal is to have 25% of alumni participating in giving.  It was pointed out that the 25% is more important than the amount each one contributes.  That is,  the grant-giving institutions look at the percentage of participation as being the most significant factor.  So Aimee encouraged people to contribute at a level that is &#8220;personally comfortable.&#8221;</p>

<hr />
<p>Meeting of DC Area Antioch Alums, Nov. 21, 2009<br />
UDC School of Law, room 205    2-5pm</p>
<p>Guests from Yellow Springs:<br />
Beverly Rodgers and Susan Eklund-Leen, newly named Morgan Scholars<br />
Risa Grimes, Director of Advancement<br />
Micah Canal, ’08, Director of Annual Giving</p>
<p>Audience of approx. 60, including 3 current Alumni Board members, former AC president Joan Straumanis, and former Board chair Larry Pearl.  The meeting was chaired by former Trustee and College Alumni President Karen Mulhauser.</p>
<p>Bev and Susan are both former AC co-op advisors, and have been hired with three other ex-faculty to help design the curriculum for the new Antioch College.  The others are Scott Warren, philosophy professor; Anne Bohlen, film and media; Jean Gregorek, Literature.  Science reps have yet to be hired.  The Morgan Scholars (sometimes called fellows) were chosen by a search committee of people from the Alumni Board (AB) and the Board Pro Tem. (BPT).<span id="more-572"></span></p>
<p>Bev began by explaining what the Morgan fellows are. “The curriculum belongs to the faculty.  Since we do not have students until 2011, the Board felt it imperative to have faculty in place to develop the curriculum.”</p>
<p>They are scheduled to have the concept in place by Jan. 2010, the actual curriculum by June.  An admissions director will be hired in June, with a view to admitting students in the fall of 2011.</p>
<p>They are also tasked with presenting symposiums during the year, planning at this point one on the Daily Struggles of Immigrant Workers, one on Native Americans, and one on Restorative Justice.  There are plans for a Reunion in June, and there will be a symposium on Civil Rights then.</p>
<p>The Scholars are not involved with fund-raising or the business plan.</p>
<p>Bev said their research so far included looking at the history of liberal arts education, and data from the American Association of Colleges and Universities’ ten year report.  It said colleges must prepare students to “think critically and creatively to solve existing problems and anticipate future ones.”  Looking at the needs of employers, they said students must be able to communicate well. The co-op program is well suited to these goals.<br />
There will be a core curriculum in which all students will participate.  The “studies” element – women, black, Hispanic, gender, etc. – will be incorporated into every class.</p>
<p>There are no fixed ideas as yet, because the scholars are actively seeking alumni input.  The email addresses for everyone now are: first initial, last name, @antiochcollege.org.<br />
<a class="autohyperlink" href="mailto:brodgers@antiochcollege.org;" title="mailto:brodgers@antiochcollege.org;">brodgers@antiochcollege.org;</a> <a class="autohyperlink" href="mailto:seklund@antiochcollege.org" title="mailto:seklund@antiochcollege.org">seklund@antiochcollege.org</a></p>
<p>You can read more about the Morgan Scholars at <a href="http://alumni.antiochians.org" title="http://alumni.antiochians.org" class="autohyperlink" target="_blank">alumni.antiochians.org</a></p>
<p>They are still looking at starting a 3-year program to a B.A., which with a full-year calendar would be only one term less than a 4-year program.  At least 3 co-ops would be included.  This would enable tuition to match state colleges @ about $25,000 a year. They are looking at returning to the four quarter system with two divs, A and B.</p>
<p>Susan spoke of the value of the co-op program and how it is different from an internship, with real responsibilities.  Several people in the audience felt the need to interrupt and talk about their co-op experiences as validation of her point! The new co-op program would recognize that in the future people are more likely to have 10 jobs over their lifetime as opposed to one career, that people will need to be more entrepreneurial and flexible.</p>
<p>The new college will also require at least 3 hours a week of on campus labor (Berea College model).</p>
<p>Language training will be a requirement and possibly also living abroad as with AEA.</p>
<p>The core curriculum will probably include a first year seminar on Democracy, globally and locally.  Students will learn to write and to make oral and public presentations.</p>
<p>- &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - -<br />
Questions and comments included:<br />
Would there still be federally funded work programs on campus (i.e. student subsidies); 2008 grad Zach Gallant said many of the FWSP jobs paid for 40 hours of work when there were really may be only 3 hours – his job was “refilling sex supplies.”  (Older grads did not know the college supplied condoms, etc.)  It is not clear at this point what federal funds we may qualify for.<br />
Should co-op and classroom be more integrated, such as with having counselors meet together with the student instead of separately?<br />
Will graduation be guaranteed?  Where will the students come from?  How many faculty and students?<br />
Why not more emphasis on math and science?<br />
Some urged more flexibility; others interested in more academic rigor and standards.<br />
One recent grad said bad experiences with co-op should be studied, that the tough experiences need to be addressed.  He also wanted political activism to be addressed in practical ways.</p>
<p>Risa said the appeal of the curriculum would be tested on high school students before being put in place.  “We know where those students are – the non-conforming students.”<br />
There will be between 90 and 120 students the first year, and 15-20 faculty.  Accreditation is required and to get it you must guarantee solvency, i.e. graduation.<br />
Not all the buildings will be open when the college opens.</p>
<p>Barbara Esbin asked whether the Board planned to hire a President and present her/him with a curriculum, or whether the new president will have a role in designing the new school.</p>
<p>Bev said that is a big debate; probably a president would not be attracted by a blank slate but would want to see a degree of enthusiasm and a dynamic environment.</p>
<p>Local alum Patrick Masterson addressed the audience to talk about how to revitalize the DC Chapter.  He has volunteered to organize some “fun stuff”: talks, social get-togethers, etc.  Ideas are welcome. Other volunteers are needed to contact local alums, update the mailing list, etc.  There are over 1000 Antioch alums in the DC area.<br />
People to contact:  <a class="autohyperlink" href="mailto:patrick@potomacgroupLLC.com" title="mailto:patrick@potomacgroupLLC.com">patrick@potomacgroupLLC.com</a><br />
Karen:  <a class="autohyperlink" href="mailto:kmulhauser@consultingWomen.com" title="mailto:kmulhauser@consultingWomen.com">kmulhauser@consultingWomen.com</a></p>
<p>Risa said there are now 20 strong chapters around the country and 15 that need help.  We are considered a strong chapter.</p>
<p>Money:<br />
$15 million has been raised for college seed money; $700,000 for the annual fund (i.e. operations.) $2.8 million is needed for the annual fund.  The Capital Campaign is targeted at $10 to $15 million over five years.<br />
The participation rate, based on the total number of living alums, is now 4%.  Foundations will not help us until we show a 25 to 40% participation rate.<br />
The average four-year college has a 50% participation rate.  Everyone was urged to give, even if it is a small amount, in order to boost our rate.  Risa noted that both she and Matt Derr have pledged $10,000 to be paid out over several years.  She also said Matt’s title has been changed to Acting President.</p>
<p>Christian Feuerstein said there is a Facebook page called Chase Community <a href="http://Giving.com" title="http://Giving.com" class="autohyperlink" target="_blank">Giving.com</a> that will give $25,000 to Antioch if we get a lot of votes. <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/" title="http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/" class="autohyperlink" target="_blank">apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/</a></p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving<br />

<p><strong>SYNOPSIS OF THE MEETING OF THE BOSTON ALUMNI CHAPTER ON NOVEMBER 15, 2009</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The meeting of the Antioch College Boston Alumni Chapter with Matthew Derr and Morgan Fellows Anne Bohlen and Scott Warren produced a great number of suggestions, concerns, and good ideas.  We will make every attempt to deliberate on each of the points made during the discussion to determine how we might incorporate them into the planning and design of the concept and curriculum for the new Antioch College.  Following is a synopsis of those ideas and comments, which I have tried to organize by various relevant categories.  I have also put key words in bold, so as to help focus attention on central points.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Calendar</strong></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>The       possibility of a <strong>three-year program</strong> leading to a B.A., with the further possibility of a three-year/two-year       program that would lead to a Masters degree after a total of five       years:  some alumni were       skeptical of whether a 3-year program would provide sufficient time to       deliver an adequate program.        Others actually found the idea appealing, especially if the       Internet could be used on Co-op to continue and finish courses begun on       campus.  Others found the       3-year program to be attractive on a cost basis, offering more students       access to Antioch.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Some       alumni thought it important that students be allowed to transfer between       “<strong>Divs</strong>.”</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>A       number of alumni also felt strongly that the calendar include a “<strong>C-Div</strong>” for the sake of building       and maintaining community.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Finally,       the idea was raised that perhaps <strong>Nonstop</strong> might serve as a good option for students who wanted to wait a year       between high school and college.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Curriculum</strong></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>There       was strong sentiment during the discussion that <strong>science and math</strong> should be important components of the new       curriculum.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>One       alumnus emphasized that even more important was a strong component on the       relationship between <strong>science and       technology</strong>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>One       idea suggested creating an <strong>incubator       culture for the sciences</strong> in the context of student entrepreneurship,       as had been done in Antioch’s past.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Yet       another alum recommended pursuing <strong>partnerships       in the sciences</strong> with other institutions, given the issue of limited       resources.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>It       was recommended that the curriculum focus on issues that graduates will       have to face, like <strong>sustainability,       global warming, and environmental issues</strong>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Another       suggestion was that the curriculum be focused on a limited number of       integrated themes, such as <strong>human       ecology, arts, literature, and life skills</strong>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>One       alum suggested looking at Tufts University and their concept and practice       of “<strong>juried classes</strong>” in their       experimental college.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Many       alumni/ae felt strongly that the <strong>global       dimension</strong> of the curriculum was absolutely crucial.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Another       comment suggested that science offerings be focused on the <strong>environment</strong>, again given the       resources issue.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>It       was suggested that perhaps a “<strong>freshman       seminar</strong>” be explored.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>One       alumna thought it would be a compelling idea to have a program that       focused on the <strong>global economy</strong>,       and especially the question of <strong>labor</strong> in that economy.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>A       number of alums felt strongly that the College continue to have<strong> cross-cultural</strong> requirements.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Finally,       there was general support for the concept of “<strong>hybrid courses</strong>,” which would begin in the classroom on       campus, and then continued on-line when the student went on Co-op.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Faculty and Pedagogy</strong></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>There       was strong consensus that the College should hire faculty with a serious       passion for the liberal arts and experiential learning (to which we added       that they should also be versatile and able to work across disciplinary       lines, and also committed to integrating issues of diversity into the       core of the curriculum).</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Some       alums suggested that the faculty should be kept small, especially at       first, and that the College make extensive use of <strong>guest faculty</strong> from the alumni and other institutions.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>There       was also mention of the pedagogical importance of involving students in       the very question of “how to learn,” so that they become truly <strong>active learners.</strong></li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Community</strong></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>There       was overwhelming consensus that community and community governance       continue to be central values of the College program.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Some       alums stressed the importance of maximizing use of the internet,       facebook, etc. to create an on-line community to supplement and       complement the face-to-face on-campus community.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Some       concern was expressed about whether a 3-year program would vitiate the       possibility of a strong community.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Co-op</strong></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Again,       there was obviously universal support for the centrality of Co-op to the       future of the College.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>The       main question raised was what should the Co-op program look like, and how       might it be different from the program of the past.  (There was some definite support       for the concept of having students move from local to national to global       Co-op experiences, as long as flexibility was allowed for the varying       developmental stages of students).</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Access and Support</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Alums       responded positively to our strategic and principled decision to make the       College not only accessible to all interested prospective students, but       to ensure the perception of accessibility as well.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>A       few alums stressed the importance of making sure that all students, no       matter their financial status, have access to computers and the internet.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>There       was animated and enthusiastic support among the alumni/ae for ensuring       that the College offered substantial <strong>academic       support services</strong>, and especially that we be supportive of different       learning styles and personalities.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Process and Transition</strong>
<ol>
<li>As       the transitional process moves forward, a few alums suggested that the       College explore developing partnerships with Wilberforce College and       Central State University.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Another       suggestion involved exploring the creation of a kind of Chautauqua       program, somewhat like the Summer Institutes of the past, to enhance the       cultural life of the College and to involve alumni and others in       contributing to that cultural life.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Many       alums stressed the importance of using focus groups of high school and       college students to test the appeal of any proposed program and       curriculum (which is currently part of the planning and design process       underway).</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Finally,       an intriguing idea was suggested concerning the possibility of offering       “short courses” to the public during the second year of the transition,       both as a way of generating extra revenue for the College, and of keeping       intellectual life alive on campus next year.</li>

SYNOPSIS OF THE MEETING OF THE BOSTON ALUMNI CHAPTER ON NOVEMBER 15, 2009

 

 

The meeting of the Antioch College Boston Alumni Chapter with Matthew Derr and Morgan Fellows Anne Bohlen and Scott Warren produced a great number of suggestions, concerns, and good ideas.nbsp; We will make every attempt to deliberate on each of the points made during the discussion to determine how we might incorporate them into the planning and design of the concept and curriculum for the new Antioch College.nbsp; Following is a synopsis of those ideas and comments, which I have tried to organize by various relevant categories.nbsp; I have also put key words in bold, so as to help focus attention on central points.

	Calendar


	

	The       possibility of a three-year program leading to a B.A., with the further possibility of a three-year/two-year       program that would lead to a Masters degree after a total of five       years:nbsp; some alumni were       skeptical of whether a 3-year program would provide sufficient time to       deliver an adequate program.nbsp;       Others actually found the idea appealing, especially if the       Internet could be used on Co-op to continue and finish courses begun on       campus.nbsp; Others found the       3-year program to be attractive on a cost basis, offering more students       access to Antioch.




	

	Some       alumni thought it important that students be allowed to transfer between       ldquo;Divs.rdquo;




	

	A       number of alumni also felt strongly that the calendar include a ldquo;C-Divrdquo; for the sake of building       and maintaining community.




	

	Finally,       the idea was raised that perhaps Nonstop might serve as a good option for students who wanted to wait a year       between high school and college.




	Curriculum


	

	There       was strong sentiment during the discussion that science and math should be important components of the new       curriculum.




	

	One       alumnus emphasized that even more important was a strong component on the       relationship between science and       technology.




	

	One       idea suggested creating an incubator       culture for the sciences in the context of student entrepreneurship,       as had been done in Antiochrsquo;s past.




	

	Yet       another alum recommended pursuing partnerships       in the sciences with other institutions, given the issue of limited       resources.




	

	It       was recommended that the curriculum focus on issues that graduates will       have to face, like sustainability,       global warming, and environmental issues.




	

	Another       suggestion was that the curriculum be focused on a limited number of       integrated themes, such as human       ecology, arts, literature, and life skills.




	

	One       alum suggested looking at Tufts University and their concept and practice       of ldquo;juried classesrdquo; in their       experimental college.




	

	Many       alumni/ae felt strongly that the global       dimension of the curriculum was absolutely crucial.




	

	Another       comment suggested that science offerings be focused on the environment, again given the       resources issue.




	

	It       was suggested that perhaps a ldquo;freshman       seminarrdquo; be explored.




	

	One       alumna thought it would be a compelling idea to have a program that       focused on the global economy,       and especially the question of labor in that economy.




	

	A       number of alums felt strongly that the College continue to have cross-cultural requ...</itunes:summary>

<h1>The Daily Struggle of Immigrant Workers</h1>
<p><strong>November 14, 2009</strong></p>
<p>The Antioch College Morgan Fellows hosted the first in a series of symposia, to be held during the course of the 2009/10 academic year. The first symposium, “The Daily Struggle of Immigrant Workers,” took place in The Coretta Scott King Center for Cultural and Intellectual Freedom, One Morgan Place, Yellow Springs, Ohio.</p>
<p>“This issue has national importance and implications and also resonates within our own geographic community. The increasingly acrimonious national immigration debates reverberate throughout Ohio,” says Anne Bohlen, Morgan Fellow. “Many citizens are working for immigration reform and assisting the growing communities of immigrants throughout the state. Antioch College has historically educated students to become engaged citizens in their communities, to have a commitment to socialjustice and equality, and to act to redress inequalities and injustice.”</p>
