The Scribner Seminars are the centerpiece of the First-Year Experience. Taught by faculty from virtually every discipline who design seminars to highlight their own intellectual curiosities and passions, they will help you explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and gain first-hand experience of faculty expectations of academic rigor and excellence.
