Individual Majors
Students who pursue individual majors publicly declare the principle of coherence that binds the courses in their majors, thus giving life to a claim made in our mission statement that "each student at a liberal arts college must make the connections that make meaning for them" (St. Olaf College, 2000, p. 27). They also present refreshing opportunities for faculty to collaborate with colleagues in other departments in support of unique majors.
Student Involvement
A relatively small number of students actually complete individual majors, but the existence of this invitation inspires large numbers of students to adopt a more intentional approach to a departmental major. In 2003-04 we had some degree of contact with about 100 students (ranging from a simple conversation in some cases to extended discussions in other cases and of course successful proposals for majors in others). Nineteen proposals for individual majors were received by faculty review committees and approved. Fourteen individual majors were certified in the class of 2004, thirteen have been approved so far for the class of 2005, and five so far for 2006. (Appendix 1 provides a list of approved majors in the class of 2004.)
Academic Quality
This was a year of gratifying student accomplishments. The CIS appears to attract gifted, motivated students, who are drawn by the invitation to develop programs of major study that express their specific interests. Of fourteen CIS seniors, five were elected to Phi Beta Kappa, eight received their majors "with distinction" based on the most rigorous GPA standards for distinction at the college), and five were nominated by their advisees for the Ken Bonde Award. The winners were Katie Schouten ("Conceptualizing Cultural Differences") and Mike Bongard ("Computer Science"). It is hard to know whether this concentration of academic accomplishment was something peculiar this year, or the indication of an emerging standard of excellence. But it is clear that the opportunity to develop an individual major enables gifted students to accomplish exceptional work. The CIS also hosts a few academically troubled students, as well as students whose focus is simply elsewhere that on classroom pursuits, and even they have often produced remarkable work.
Experiential Learning
CIS majors appear to be at the cutting edge of the college's commitment to experiential learning. The concept of individual majors stresses the desirability of integrating learning in classrooms with learning in other sites and circumstances. CIS students in the class of 2004 studied abroad with St. Olaf programs and in self-designed learning opportunities. They worked on small farms in Ecuador, in land acquisition offices of enormous corporations, in public health research projects, on the college's sustainability task force, in physics research teams. More broadly, they learned by doing: they produced magazines, documentary films, college courses, oral histories.
Use of Curricular Assets
The CIS asks students to demonstrate that their proposed majors make wise use of existing resources, and do not merely duplicate existing programs. A review of the courses included in individual majors in the class of 2004 reveals that CIS students incorporate courses fairly evenly distributed across the curriculum; they take courses at every level; they take few on-campus IS/IR's; they do not as a group put undue pressure on any particular courses or departments. In short, their course selections do not appear to weigh more heavily on any particular part of the curriculum. (See Appendix 2) The CIS is improving its database to be able to provide even more specific information about use of curricular assets in the future.
Patterns of Interest
Each year we observe patterns in students' interests. First, this year a cluster of interest in health related sciences became so pronounced that we consulted with Anne Walter and Dave Van Wylen, both about the most effective ways to advise students who seek to develop individual majors related to human health, and about the lessons to be learned from these students' apparent perceptions (and misperceptions) of the college's established programs and resources for supporting health related studies. Second, a familiar pattern of interest in media related subjects continued. Students sought novel ways to combine college resources in support of majors that studied media as well as majors that produced media. Bill Sonnega (along with others in the Fine Arts and Humanities faculties) has heroically supported many of these students. By agreement between us, he will limit the number of individual majors he takes as advisees in the future. Third, a significant group of students have expressed interest in individual majors closely related to environmental studies at the college, and we plan to confer with the faculty of the environmental studies department to insure that we serve those students appropriately. Fourth, the themes of social justice and peace studies continue to attract student interest. All these clusters of interest - human health science, media studies, environmental policy and social justice - suggest the breadth of interest in these fields at the college; and this suggests we should be attentive to ways besides individual majors of supporting students in these pursuits.
Co-Curricular Involvement
CIS students remain deeply engaged in co-curricular life. They are RA's and JC's and TRIO mentors. They are active in alpine and nordic skiing, in the ballroom dance club, and in theater. They are leaders in the Peace and Justice Resource Network, and members of the student committee for the Peace Prize Forum. They write for the Mess and produce shows for KSTO. They are active in Campus Christian organizations.
Faculty Involvement
Our goal remains to have as many faculty as possible participate in some capacity, whether as adviser to a student with an individual major, as a secondary consultant to such a student, or simply as a member of a faculty review committee. This experience creates and strengthens the intellectual community of the college as a whole. Since 2001, 130 faculty members fro 30 St. Olaf departments and 2 members of Carleton's faculty have been involved. (Appendix 3 summarizes faculty involvement.)
Library
Students in the CIS continued to benefit from the active involvement of St. Olaf College librarians in the development of major proposals, and the completion of senior projects.
Web Portfolios
On the advice of outside reviewers, we worked hard to develop standardized materials to inculcate the philosophy and practice of web portfolios, so that student' development of the portfolios would be less dependent on the hands-on enthusiasm of CIS faculty. Students continued to make strides in exploiting the potential of the medium. Portfolios completed by students in the class of 2004 are more consistently polished than in preceding years, though they fulfill some of the criteria of excellence established by the CIS much better than others (that fact will provide direction for advising students in the class of 2005).
An ongoing goal for the CIS is to establish the most effective possible collaboration with staff of IIT in support of web portfolios. This year we were able to schedule individual appointments in the multimedia development center for CIS majors working on web portfolios, and this worked well for the students. We will continue efforts to insure CIS students make appropriate use of resources in the MDC and that they are supported by MDC staff. We will seek the help of IIT staff to hire technologically capable CIS student workers next year to work with CIS majors on their portfolios.
In 2004-05 we will pursue grant funding for project that extends support for web portfolios into other majors outside the CIS, and that explores the use of web portfolios for understanding the outcomes of our general education curriculum.
Topical Seminars and Thematic Colloquia
We offered and will offer a variety of topical seminars this year and next. These seminars fulfill the promise of offering opportunities for faculty to teach in areas of special interest to them, and examples for students of the limits and possibilities of interdisciplinary study. The interim interdisciplinary course on Mexico offered by Naurine Lennox and Bruce Nordstrom-Loeb for St. Olaf band members was a satisfying example of the ability of the CIS to respond quickly to short term opportunities and needs. We aim to offer a full complement of seminars (five) in 2005-06. (Appendix 4 lists topical seminars offered in 2003-04 and projected for 2004-05.)
The CIS offered two new thematic colloquia (see Appendix 4). Like his colloquium on "Security" last year, Bruce Benson's colloquium on "Authenticity" was well received. We hope it ill be possible for Bruce, and other colleagues, to offer other colloquia in the future.
Linked Courses
Last year, the CIS program of linked courses appeared moribund. However, through the Lilly Program, the CIS sponsored a call for proposals for Linked Courses on Vocation. The Lilly Program funded one proposal for Steve Hahn and Colin Wells to offer two courses, "Discerning the Spirit in American Literature" and "Heeding the Call in American History," as a way of creating a small learning community of students who focus closely on promises and perils in the fact that American history is in large part a story of people and groups acting according to a belief that they are following the call of God. The courses will be offered for the first time in the fall of 2005. Professors Hahn and Wells will each have one course release in the spring of 2004 to prepare the courses and make suitable administrative arrangements to support the pairing.
Other Activities
Magnus the Good Award. In conjunction with the Center for Innovation in the Liberal Arts the CIS offered the second annual "Magnus the Good" Award, which seeks to encourage student-faculty collaboration in the pursuit of new learning. Xun Pomponio (Economics) and student Brendan Mrosak '06 received an award to support their project, "Taming the Yangtze: Sustainable Development along the Yangtze River." And Donna McMillan (Psychology) and student Caitlin Mosman '05 received an award to support their project, "The American Dream Uncovered: An Examination of Materialism as a Central Value."
