This is the fifth year of John Carroll University's First-Year Seminar, and our third theme.
Frontiers are places of challenge and excitement, but also danger and fear.
Borders confine and divide us, but also extend and join us. Our primary purpose in FYS is to introduce students to college academics in a class that stimulates participation of all students, dialogue between faculty and students, and the building of a campus community. Class size is limited to about 20 students. All sections emphasize careful reading, writing, and discussion, and all instructors are full-time JCU faculty members. Each section reads the same common texts, but each section is also free to pursue further our common purposes and topics in its own way.
