Thursday May 9th was the first day of summer classes which meant the first day of University Colloquium with Dr. Morris. The class was located in Ben Hill Griffin Hall, Room 109. At first glance, I assumed that this class would be about the environment and how to protect and preserve what is left on the planet. While I was correct is my assumption, I did not cover the entire class description. This class will also help students grow within themselves. Since this class is filled with students with all different types of majors and career paths, it makes it possible to ignore our studies for a second and focus on how to be a better person as a whole. I am looking forward to what this class has to offer and am willing to put in the effort it will take in order to better myself as a whole.
After discussing the learning objectives and going through the syllabus, we spent the rest of the class on a field trip where we visited the food forest on campus. Being a transfer student and only being at FGCU for a year now, I have never heard of the food forest and what it was all about. It was very interesting that students took the time out of their day to come here and grow different types of plants that either produced food or did not. It definitely got me thinking that I could do more for the environment even if it is in a small way. Overall, I am glad to have visited the forest and plan to go back very soon.
