CCSC Combats "Study Day"

Starting at a few minutes before six, students began to file in. There were name cards to fill out, a buffet to be devoured. Barnard had pulled out all the stops for tonight's Town Hall: note the pristine white table clothes.

According to Kate McNamara VP of Communications for the SGA, tonight's Town Hall was a response to fall's Town Hall, which unfortunately (or fortunately?) occurred when hate crime season was in full bloom. Students had expressed concerns about the hate-filled, crime-ridden environment that was fall 2007, and Barnard felt that "maybe what needs to change is what happens in our classroom," according to McNamara.

The official presentation began with Dean Denberg, the Dean of Barnard College. With trusty PowerPoint at her side, Denberg provided background information about BC's general education requirements. There are nine total GERs, and they are called, fittingly enough, The Nine Ways of Knowing. Implemented in 2000, each has broad-ish objectives ("Literature", "Historical Studies", etc.).
