Cornerstone: Foundations for a Liberal Arts Education

How will you build a deeply satisfying education at Evergreen that empowers your future? How will Evergreen be a part of your lifelong learning and career goals? If you are new to Evergreen, or to college, this is an opportunity to think deeply about your education. You will consider the knowledge and skills you bring with you and those you want to explore or expand.  

Cornerstone has a friendly schedule. We will meet for ten Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1:50 p.m.  Five of our classes will be on campus so that you will learn more about resources and hidden treasures at Evergreen. The others will be remote on Zoom every other Saturday.

We will consider contemporary debates about education in a democratic society.  We will engage in guided writing and research projects, self-assessments, and exercises that strengthen academic reading, writing, speaking, note-taking, and time management skills.
