Events 2011-2012

The Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning and the College of Education and Human Development are building a year of education and events around the shared question: Can one person make a difference?

As part of this process, the entire college community is joining our incoming students in reading a common book: Outcasts United, by Warren St. John, which expands a story that began as a 2007 New York Times article about the Fugees, a soccer program for boys from families of refugees from war-torn nations who were resettled in Clarkston, Georgia.

Please join us in reading Outcasts United and join our college for a number of related events. We are eager to share the ways that we, as a college, make a difference through transformational research, top-quality education, and partnerships with our community beyond campus.
