Topic: The campus and the community.<\/strong>\u00a0We go to town for yogurt (no! have some acai instead) or whatever, but most of us don\u2019t really have a\u00a0 sense of community beyond the campus at WCU. \u00a0We can do better. We must do better. How should students at WCU, and the institution itself, interact with the community beyond the campus in order to achieve the goals for transformative learning? \u00a0Identify the problem and then use the work of Percy and Freire to assert (at least) four ways in which WCU could use our non-campus community to support something at the core of the student experience at WCU. \u00a0Your ideas must be supported by four critical ideas from the work of\u00a0 Percy (and Freire if desired).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Working Thesis: With the wonderful town of West Chester just steps away from the University, it is heinous how uninvolved the students are with the community as a whole. Students need to become more involved in the community by doing things such as participating in community events, volunteering throughout the community, get a job in town, or even have the community have more influence on the University as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Percy Quotes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The tourist who carves his initials in a public place, which is theoretically \u201chis\u201d in the first place, has good reasons for doing so, reasons which the exhibitor and planner know nothing about. He does so because in his role of consumer of an experience (a \u201crecreational experience\u201d to satisfy a \u201crecreational need\u201d) he knows that he is disinherited. He is deprived of his title over being. He knows very well that he is in a very special sort of zone in which his only rights are the rights of a consumer. He moves like a ghost through schoolroom, city streets, trains, parks, movies. He carves his initials as a last desperate measure to escape his ghostly role of consumer. He is saying in effect: I am not a ghost after all; I am a sovereign person. And he establishes title the only way remaining to him, by staking his claim over one square inch of wood or stone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The sonnet is obscured by the symbolic package which is formulated not by the sonnet itself but by the media through which the sonnet is transmitted, the media which the educators believe for some reason to be transparent.
