Highlighting Academic Resources to make you more successful here!

Monday

Health Professions 101 -5pm in Meliora 302

Are you considering a Career in Health Professions? Health Professions advising assists students as they develop their academic program and explore a career interest in the health professions. A successful applicant to a health professions graduate program demonstrates not only the proper academic preparation but also knowledge of their intended career. Being a “pre-med” or “pre-vet” etc. is an interest and not a program or major. UR acceptance rates for health professions graduate programs are consistently above the national average and our students prepare for their intended health professions programs in a great variety of ways. Thinking about taking a course over the summer? Wondering about academic requirements for specific fields? Interested in gaining clinical or research experience?

New courses:

CHI 230/430 Contemporary Chinese Art
Course explores the emergence of experimental and documentary art in China since the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976. We will consider how questions of the remainders of the past and new urban spaces, the shifting relations of writing and images, the politics of the body, and the changing of location of China in a global cultural economy have driven wide-ranging experiments with new materials, mediums, and exhibition spaces.

FR 266  Balzac & Baudelaire in Paris
Course examines two of the most compelling and iconic visions of the transformation of society and urban culture we call modernity: the novelistic oeuvre of Honoré de Balzac and the poetry of Charles Baudelaire. We will read, in particular, Balzac’s great novels _Père Goriot_ (1835) and _The Splendors and Miseries of Courtesans_ (1844) and selections from Baudelaire’s _Paris Spleen_ (1869) and his famous _The Flowers of Evil_ (_Les Fleurs du Mal_, 1857), to study how the their multifaceted evocations of nineteenth-century Paris represented a revolution in literary representation. Conducted in French.

GER 275 Digital Cityscapes
Most of our interactions today with the geography of a city are digitial - we use our phones to find a location, we mark where we've been on a Facebook map, we embed GPS information into our photos. Beyond these everyday uses, digital projects abound that map historical and statistical data onto geographical locations, drawing connections between physical locations and more abstract information. In this course we will examine the ways these interactions between the digital and the physical shape our understanding of the world around us.

RUS 240/RST 240 Nabokov – Unusual Émigré
A survey of the writer's Russian and American works and his contribution to world literature. Reading his most renowned novels, we will acquire an understanding of Nabokov's style, philosophy and ethical principles. Our discussions will address his ideas of life and death, space and time, regularity and chance, as well as such issues as otherness, individual freedom, and independent thinking. We will also analyze Nabokov's artistic discourse as we attempt to assess his legacy: was he a trickster as some critics describe him, or a deep thinker and brilliant stylist, as others argue? As an American college professor, whose lectures have been published, how did the author himself think literature should be taught? Readings include King, Queen, Knave, The Defense, Camera Obscura, Invitation to a Beheading, The Gift, Lolita, Pnin and Speak Memory. In English
