Hour(s) This course is the beginning of the health leadership journey for students at Salem College. It fosters a leadership development environment by teaching students to understand who they are through individual strengths and values assessments and to empower them to recognize their leadership potential through a close study of social change leadership theory. Furthermore, the course introduces students to the nuanced and complex definitions of health in our society by using historical, gendered, racial, economic, social, environmental, and ethical lenses. Armed with this knowledge about health in our communities of the past, present, and future, students will understand ways to identify, practice, and demonstrate their unique leadership qualities to effect positive, healthful, and equitable changes in the Salem, local, national, and international communities.
Hour(s) In small seminars conducted by their faculty advisors, students explore socially significant issues and cultivate critical thinking and communication skills. Students develop their abilities to write analytically, to read challenging material, to discuss complex questions, to work collaboratively, and to communicate effectively. They are introduced to ways of thinking and discussing that are valued at Salem and that matter for engaged citizens, such as ethical inquiry, gender inquiry, and intercultural competence. While different sections of the first-year seminar explore distinct themes or topics, all engage concepts of health as they prepare students for the academic success that leads to professional success. Only first-year students may register for this course. (Although this introductory course does entail writing assignments, it does not meet the general education requirement for a writing intensive course.)
