Liberal Arts in Action

Working at the Marist Insitute for Public Opinion with nationally renowned expert Dr. Lee Miringoff gives students hands-on political science experience. The Blues History & Poetry course co-taught by history professor Steven Garabedian and English professor Lea Graham featured an on-campus folk/rock/blues performance by the The Vague Assurances. Food for thought: Students in philosophy professor Joseph Campisi's Honors course enjoy a farm-to-table meal as part of their investigation of ethical approaches to food. Coordinated by both the SLA and the School for Social and Behavioral Sciences, the Marist Praxis Program provides students with rich opportunities for community service and interaction. Here, Dwajuana Stokes '12 makes new friends at an orphanage in Haiti. New perspectives on the Civil War: Students in a course team-taught by English professor Mark Morreale and history professor Nicholas Marshall visit Gettysburg National Military Park. Medieval culture, modern travelers: Students studying in Spain gather in front of the Catedral de Salamanca. Students with a flair for drama take part in a wide array of Marist Theatre Program productions, including this recent staging of the musical <em>Oliver!</em> American Studies major Kathryn Coursey '11 discusses her work with history department chair Sara Dwyer-McNulty. Faculty work closely with SLA students to ensure the development of first-rate research skills.
