The story of Jackie Robinson breaking Major League Baseball's color barrier is still celebrated, but the man remains enigmatic: loved and hated; an outspoken and fiercely independent political actor; a strong and talented athlete whose fragile health ultimately failed him. This course will explore Robinson's life, including his experiences as a college athlete, soldier, Hall of Fame baseball player, husband, father, businessman, and civil rights advocate, and will consider his historical significance and ongoing legacy.

California is more than a state: it is an idea, a dream, and a contradiction. We will journey from its earliest Indigenous cultures through Spanish, Mexican, and American rule, exploring missions, the Gold Rush, the railroad, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley. We will challenge myths, highlight overlooked voices, and examine how migration, innovation, and cultural change shaped the Golden State. We will discover what it has meant, and still means, to be Californian.

We have never seen a time like this in women's sports in the United States, or around the world: a female athlete becoming so popular that she breaks attendance and TV viewership records, drawing unprecedented attention to women's team sports. Nearly 54 years into the nation's Title IX era, today is the greatest day in women's sports: until tomorrow.

Translated from Scottish Gaelic as the 'water of life', uisge beatha is the spirit we know as Scotch whisky. In this class, we will explore the history and culture of Scotch whisky and take a virtual tour of some distilleries from the five whisky-producing regions in Scotland. By examining the production process of single malt whisky, we will uncover the origins of the flavor profiles that are characteristic of a brand's core range of whiskies. There will be a field trip to The Kitchen Classroom to nose and taste four distinct single malt Scotch whisky expressions from Glenkinchie (Lowlands), Glendronach (Speyside), Laphroaig (Islay), and Highland Park (Highlands). Come enjoy a "wee dram" with your fellow Scotch whisky enthusiasts. Fees are non-refundable unless we can fill your slot. The first session will be on campus; the second at the Kitchen Classroom.
