Cornerstone: Foundations for a Liberal Arts Education

What does it take to succeed in college? What is the value of a Liberal Arts education? If you are new to college, or just new to Evergreen, this is an opportunity to think deeply about your education, develop skills that contribute to college success, and chart a path toward career goals and life-long learning. We'll investigate contemporary debates about the role of education in a democratic society, and provide opportunities for you to explore what an Evergreen education means for you. In the process of this investigation, students will engage in projects, self-assessments, and exercises that strengthen academic reading, writing, speaking, note-taking, and time management skills.
