CCLC Consultants

The CCLC is staffed by a group of wonderful student consultants, without whom our work would be less efficient and life significantly less interesting. Prior to beginning work in the CCLC, each consultant takes a four credit hour interdisciplinary course titled IDS 259: E-Merging: Learning Technologies.

Consultants for 2008 - 2009:

Angelica Blackman, a senior Music and Computer Science double major.

Andrew Cannon, a junior Classics major.

Jenn Guinter, a senior English major.

Margaret Lawrence, a senior Communication Studies major.

Katherine Myers, a senior Political Science major with a concentration in Black Cultures in America.

Kelli Schoen, a senior German Studies major.

Monika Young, a junior with an undecided major but a fondness for French.

IDS 259: E-Merging: Learning Technologies

All CCLC consultants complete a four credit hour interdisciplinary course taught by Dr. Jane Love each Spring before they can begin work in CCLC. The course is not just a "training course" for consultants, though--it has academic benefits for many disciplines, and many students who take the course do not end up working in CCLC afterward. Think you might be interested in the class? Contact Dr. Love.

Prerequisite: permission of instructor.

Course Description: Exploring, through culture and concepts, the implications of information and communications technologies for what it means to learn and to know. Students experiment with collaboration, networking, concept mapping, and self-organization in individual and group projects. Requirements include participation in electronic discussion forums, presentations, multimedia projects, journals, and essays. (from the Furman University 2008-2009 Catalog).

Consultants Past: Where are they now?

Former CCLC Consultants have taken their Furman liberal arts education and CCLC work experience to many different jobs and a few different parts of the world, including law, geology, web design and information fluency, in places ranging from Tennessee to Scotland. Be sure to check back periodically as we get in touch with CCLC alumni to find out what they've been up to and where they're headed next.
