University Scholars Seminars challenge students to investigate, research, and develop an informed perspective on an issue of contemporary and ethical relevance alongside two faculty experts and a small group of peers. Although topics span disciplines, all seminars teach students to identify issues, utilize different modes of inquiry to research them, apply analytical and critical thinking skills when reading textual and nontextual sources, write and speak clearly, and explore issues of diversity and lived experiences. As such, these courses introduce students to the expectations and experiences that form the basis of a liberal arts education at Winona State University.
