MY FRESHMAN YEAR AUTHOR TO VISIT WSU
First Year Experience Lecture Series
Tuesday, March 6
3:30 pm -5:30 pm
Student Union Apollo Room
The University College at Wright State University proudly welcomes Cathy Small as guest lecturer as part of our First Year Experience Lecture Series. In 2002, Dr. Small (in her 50’s) decided to enroll as a college freshman and walk in the shoes of her own students. Small moved out of her house and into the dorms, taking a full load of courses, joining student activities, and eating in the student dining hall. Living and taking classes for a year as an undergraduate was the basis for her book “My Freshman Year,” an anthropological account of student culture. What she found out profoundly changed her as a professor, and will be the topic of her talk.
Cathy Small has been a professor of cultural anthropology at Northern Arizona University for 17 years. For the past 25 years, her primary research and writing— includes her book “Voyages” used by more than 100 universities-- have focused on immigration and transnational issues. She is the recipient of numerous local awards, including her university’s Teacher of the Year and the Faculty Mentor Awards, and has served as a Faculty Fellow and a member of the PEW Higher Education Roundtable. Nationally, she is the recipient of the Praxis Award for Excellence in Applied Anthropology and the national Points of Light award for co-founding the Pipeline mentoring and college scholarship program for low-income youth. Her program received the Governor's Special Recognition award as well as first prize for Best Educational Practices in Post-Secondary Education in the state of Arizona.
Dr. Small will be available to sign books following her presentation. You may
purchase “My Freshman Year” in the Wright State University Bookstore.
