This foundational course for Honors at CSU aims to foster students as leaders, innovators and changemakers within the Honors community and beyond. In this course, we will expand self-awareness, examine perspectives, and engage across difference in order to reflect on and analyze personal and social responsibility, social systems, and contemporary contexts. Through foundational texts, case studies, and student-led examples, we will not only focus on how diverse identities, life stories, and worldviews create larger relational communities, but also better understand how our own intersecting identities are reflected in our values, beliefs, assumptions, and communication behaviors. We will undertake discussions and projects that enable students, as leaders of today and leaders of tomorrow, to cultivate curiosity about their surroundings and engage meaningfully and productively within their communities.
