UNCP 5512 Capstone: Mindful First Gen Success
Capstone classes may NOT be taken Pass/Fail. You may take only ONE Capstone class before graduation. Where are we really living day to day? Are we holding onto our past? Are we planning for and overwhelmed by the future? What happened to the present? We will explore the particular challenges of first gen students including the trailblazing necessary to enter and thrive in college and the way in which their past can be seen as an accomplishment that informs their lives but doesn't hold them back from exploring the world in a fearless and unfolding way.
