Fall 2022 “Coaching for Self-Actualization” Course
Coaching for Self-Actualization provides an individualized process where students are coached to build self-efficacy and personal agency. This course is grounded in a positive psychology approach, which is predicated on the belief that a person has the solutions to their most pressing challenges within themselves. Enrolled students will be paired with a Coach Guide for six one-on-one coaching sessions and also participate in small-group discussions facilitated by a Coaching Supervisor.
This course is open to any Jr. or Sr. from any department or major. Click here for more information.
Fall 2022 GEOG 172: Sonic Geographies of Oakland
This is a field and practice-based course in which students record, edit, and produce audio works that document and interpret the geographies of Oakland. Through this work, students will experiment with the field of “sonic geography”.
No special equipment or prior experience in sound recording or editing is necessary. For more information click here.
