Abstract/Description
Randomly assigned to a Zoom breakout room during a 2021 MEA meeting, Chaminade Assistant Professor Koreen Nakahodo and UD Write Place Coordinator Christina Klimo quickly recognized they had a shared passion for helping students grow as writers. Additionally, they were both attracted to the idea of helping first-year students recognize that they are part of a larger Marianist community. A collaboration was born! This session highlights the student interaction between the two universities, what went well, how the students reacted, where there is room for growth, and our plan for future collaboration. While this collaboration is new, we are committed to helping students better understand what it means to be a student at a Marianist University. Soon, we hope to engage St. Mary’s and explore how all three universities may work together to connect students.
Goals for Attendees
Help our students consider relationship building and collaboration. Also, help students think more deeply about what it means to be at a Marianist school.
