In fall 1999 and spring 2000 the program will offer a selection of one-hour academic seminars, under the heading of FRES 1010 and 1020, designed to introduce new students to research, study and the intellectual life of the University of Georgia. Freshman-seminar students will meet with faculty on a regular basis and learn about their interests and research. Because students will select topics that interest them, those who enroll in the program should be attentive and motivated. For some students FRES seminars may serve as an entry to the major.
Enrollment is open to all freshmen.
Seminars will enroll 15 students and meet for one 50-minute session per week. Creative, innovative proposals are being sought for the fall 1999 or spring 2000 semesters. Plans are to schedule two-thirds of the seminars in the fall term. Proposals should include a title and brief description and should indicate the preferred class period, day and semester. The college will schedule seminars that reflect the diverse talents, interests and research skills of faculty at the University of Georgia.
