This fall, we'll coordinate four reading activities as part of our work with approximately 125 Johnetta Haley Scholars. The Haley Leadership Academy is a program for students defined as under-represented. The Haley programs are facilitated by Earleen Patterson, who also directs the Student Opportunities for Academic Results (S.O.A.R.) program. My black studies contributors and I organize a series of enrichment programs for the group.
This year, our four groups are reading Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, Sheena Iyengar’s The Art of Choosing, Charles Duhigg's The Power of Habit, and Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa's Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses. The project is designed to:
● Stimulate increased intellectual activity among Haley Scholars and the broader community
● Strengthen reading, writing, and web-based communication skills among participants
● Create opportunities for participants to collaborate on the implementation of intellectual service work
