THE HONORS PROGRAM AT ALVERNIA COLLEGE
Excellence, Interaction, Enthusiasm
Elective Course Offerings
Presidential Classroom
Here’s your chance to take a course with Alvernia’s President, Dr. Tom Flynn! It doesn’t “count” as anything, but it will help you become well-rounded students and critical thinkers! Not to mention that you will have an awesome seminar experience, discussing interesting readings with a group of talented peers while being guided by the President. As an added bonus, the students in this course will have the opportunity to talk with Dr. Flynn over dinners about higher education in America and the future of Alvernia College. Students who enroll in this course for the Spring will be invited to meet with Dr. Flynn later this Fall to help determine the exact content of the course. A one-credit seminar course with Alvernia's President. Possible topics include: modern cross-cultural short fiction, faith and doubt in modern fiction, or the literature of modern war. Regardless of the topic, you will find these meetings fascinating and fun—what Honors education is supposed to be about! You are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this unique and exciting opportunity!
