Find Your Voice

You have a unique and creative voice. Making yourself heard involves:
Over the next year, Bridgewater College will be implementing a new quality enhancement program to increase and improve conversations about a wide variety of issues and in a wide variety of environments, both academic and social. The Academic Citizenship QEP is built on the concept of engaging students in their education and encouraging the development of their own voice. The BC Voice. Developing the BC Voice will involve thinking critically, examining sources, looking at issues from different perspectives and ultimately making well-informed, thoughtful contributions to the community and to society as a whole. The BC voice will develop through four campus-wide initiatives: The Big Question The Big Question is a thought-provoking theme that will provide opportunities for discussions throughout the year, in everything from Welcome Week and residence life programs to courses and convocations. Student input will be solicited during fall 2011 in order to select a topic for the first Big Question theme, which will be announced for the 2012–2013 academic year. Director of Academic Citizenship A director of academic citizenship will be hired in June 2012 to administer the program, and the academic citizenship steering committee will be formed to assist the director in oversight and implementation of the initiatives. As students become more active and begin to understand the importance of finding their own voice and participating in campus-wide dialogue, the hope is that the academic culture will be transformed, and students create ideas and engage in civil discourse to address complex issues, both societal and personal.
