PREM 02 Tour of Community Sites

Tour of Community Sites, Projects and Partnerships


Premester week
Instructor: Young, et al
3-5 hours

Course Goals
With the sub-theme, Seeing is Believing, a challenge to the Guilford College campus community to “get on the bus” and for individuals to see themselves the changing neighborhoods and communities living just minutes from the college. By the end of the tour, participants will understand how the region’s demographic changes challenge assumptions about how the College interprets globalism, localism, diversity, and its core values.

Start becoming a good observer
So take photos with your buddy (yeah, buddy up) and write down (you must, you won’t be able to identify what you’ve seen from memory alone) the location, site name, etc.

Send me the photos via email or dropbox. Or you can come to the Bonner Center and download onto one of the office hard drives. Don’t forget to save your documentation. We’ll use these images to construct a group slide show and online tour. 

Questions 
What do you know about the city and its history?
