This course is an orientation to students in the Southern Scholars Honors Program and focuses on the practice of critical thinking in personal life and in academic study; the ethos of honors learning; and the purpose of serving as a Christian intellectual in a faith-based or a secular environment. The course will also expose students to enrichment opportunities offered by the program (for example: semesters abroad, Partners in the Parks, Honors conferences, major national scholarships, serving on National Collegiate Honors Council).
