• Philosophy professor Robert Strikwerda, director of IU Kokomo’s Honors Program, was an invited speaker at the National Collegiate Honors Council conference in November where the theme was “Bridging Currents and Cultures.” He and colleagues from the University of Alabama presented multidisciplinary innovations in teaching, including Strikwerda’s freshmen learning seminar, “Trees, Treasures and Trash.” One activity he hopes to incorporate in the seminar is a mock town meeting, with students role-playing citizens with different perspectives on ecological issues, such as land use or waste disposal regulations.
