The goal of Fisher Connects’ planning phase is to fundamentally transform St. John Fisher College’s approach to civic education in the new Core curriculum, empowering Fisher students to become knowledgeable, engaged, and reflective citizens. Fisher faculty and staff will collaborate with community leaders wielding an array of subject-matter expertise and diverse perspectives to facilitate the design process. Together we will co-construct a vision to respond to the project’s ‘Big Question’ through an anti-racist place-based lens, and guide the development and delivery of six new Humanities courses inculcating civic leadership.
