SCHEDULING DAY
REGISTRATION BEGINS
MILLIKIN.EDU/IMMERSION
You’re invited to attend... Summer Session 2020 at Millikin University.
In this catalog you will find a wide range of courses and flexible meeting times. We’ve designed our course offerings to fit the needs of... • Current Millikin Students • Adult Enrichment Learners • Students attending other universities who want to earn credits while home for break • High School Students wanting to gain credits in escrow We have discounted tuition for our Summer Immersion 2020 courses and made it easy for you to enroll and register by fax 420-6789, online, or in person in the Registrar’s Office, Gorin Hall, Room 16. This summer we are offering several ONLINE courses to make it easy for students not in the central Illinois area to have access to top-quality Millikin education. You’ll find the registration form in the back of the class listings and also online at <http://www.millikin.edu/immersion>. Take a look at the range of offerings prepared by our creative faculty. I think you’ll find that summer is a great time to develop new skills or to concentrate on a course you want (or need) to take. A summer immersion course can help you graduate early, improve your grade point average, or provide a once-in-alifetime experience. Join us for a great summer of learning, Dr. Randy Brooks Director, Summer School & Immersion Programs

Calendar
Registration Procedures
Wednesday, April 15, 2020 – Registration begins for Summer & May Immersion term.
Registration for Millikin students may be completed in person at the Registrar’s Office (Gorin Hall) or online beginning Wednesday, April 15, 2020. Payment may be mailed or made in person at the Office of Student Financial Services in Shilling Hall, Room 119.
Last day to register for Summer Immersion classes will be the day before each class starts. Monday, May 18, 2020 – May Immersion term begins (see course descriptions for actual start and end dates for classes).
Adult Enrichment Courses Courses with the designation Adult Enrichment are designed to be of interest to adults in the area. Community adults will be able to enroll in these courses for the reduced fee of $167 per credit hour ($500 for a three-credit course). Expectations for these students will be identical to the traditional student. No credits or grade will be issued. No currently enrolled college students are eligible to take a course as an Adult Enrichment course.
Scheduled Courses This bulletin contains a list of courses planned for Summer School & May Immersion. Students should be aware that most of these courses have enrollment limits and may be oversubscribed. It is also possible that some courses will be canceled due to low enrollment. Therefore, students should include alternates on the Registration Form.
Travel Courses
Priority in registration for oversubscribed courses is given to degree candidates at Millikin University.
In order to fully benefit from an international or travel experience, students should be in good physical and mental health. All participating students must meet program/course requirements. A Millikin University Waiver Release and Indemnification Agreement are required for all students participating in a travel course. All students are required to complete a Student Travel Contract with expense details and payment deadlines to enroll in the travel course. An international student travel card is also required for travel courses (international and domestic travel). See the Center for International Education, University Commons, Room 126, about obtaining this card and related required travel forms.
Internship/Independent/Directed Study In addition to the scheduled courses in this booklet, a limited number of Millikin faculty are available for internship/independent study/directed study courses during the Summer Immersion term. One academic credit is given for every 40 hours of internship, and every internship must be approved through the appropriate department. The internship, independent study, and directed study fees are set at $499 per credit hour plus a $22 per credit hour university fee. Credit will NOT be granted for experiences prior to registration for the internship. No Summer internship registration will be accepted after June 30, 2020.
Student Accommodations Students who are seeking classroom accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act should submit documentation to the Office of Student Success at the time of registration.
To receive academic credit for internship/independent study/directed study courses, students must complete their registration at the University. A Millikin faculty member serves as a supervisor and, generally, a plan for the internship/independent study/directed study is discussed well in advance. The student and faculty supervisor shall complete the approved individual study contract form available from the Registrar. This form and the required paperwork must be filed with the Registrar by Friday, June 30, 2020, for the Summer Immersion and May term. In most areas, it is the student’s responsibility to arrange the details of the internship. Faculty/staff tuition waivers do not apply to internship/independent study/directed study courses. 2

Travel Course Contracts
IMPORTANT REFUND INFORMATION:
Note: all international travel courses have been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
University Tuition Refund Schedule - Summer Immersion Term
All travel courses have a unique Student Travel Contract agreement that specifies total expenses for the course. All students are required to complete the Student Travel Contract that provides details, including deadlines for initial payment and full payment of costs. Some courses have additional fees to cover supplies or special expenses associated with off-campus travel and/or lodging.
Withdrawal from courses (including ONLINE courses): Tuition Refunds Withdrawal from any course • There is a full refund before 8:00 a.m. of the first day of class • There is a 50% refund through 5:00 p.m. of the first day of class • There is no refund after 5:00 p.m. of the first day of class
Adult Enrichment students are also required to complete the Student Travel Contract.
Each student is financially responsible for courses in which he or she is enrolled. If it becomes necessary to drop a course, the student is responsible for submitting the proper form (available in the Registrar’s Office). Simply not attending or ceasing to attend a class does not constitute a formal withdrawal. The instructor cannot withdraw the student; proper paperwork must be completed at the Registrar’s Office. If you must withdraw and are unable to come to the University to complete the proper paperwork due to extenuating circumstances, you may call the Registrar’s Office at (217) 424-6217 or email the Registrar, Jason Wickline, at jwickline@ millikin.edu or nhotwick@millikin.edu
Visiting students are required to pay all travel course expenses in full prior to traveling. Continuing Millikin students need to check with the Financial Aid Office regarding eligibility for loan options such as Stafford, or alternative loans. Students may make arrangements with the Office of Student Financial Services for alternative payment schedules. The required initial payment reserves a registration for the student in the travel course. Based on that payment, the University makes advanced purchases of flight tickets, lodging reservations and additional travel expenses that are non-refundable.
Insufficient Enrollment The University reserves the right to cancel courses for which there is insufficient enrollment. Courses may be canceled for other unforeseen circumstances as well.
Once the initial payment for travel courses has been paid, the student is responsible for all charges incurred and expended by Millikin University for the travel course (airfare, housing, activities, etc.), even if he or she chooses to withdraw from the travel course.
Attendance Due to the short duration of May Immersion and Summer term courses, attendance is imperative. Each faculty member establishes an individual definition of satisfactory classroom attendance and informs students of this policy. Students are expected to attend regularly scheduled class meetings and laboratory sessions.
NOTE: The following withdrawal refund guidelines for immersion courses DO NOT APPLY to travel courses due to the travel expenses paid by the University several weeks in advance for each student. Faculty/staff tuition waivers are valid only on a space available basis and when courses reach the minimum enrollment. Faculty/staff tuition waivers do not apply to internship, independent study, or directed study courses.
It is the student’s responsibility to report circumstances regarding their absence to the instructor as soon as possible. In the event a student has difficulty reaching the instructor to report an absence, the Center for Academic & Professional Performance will assist the student at 217-362-6224.
Contact the Summer School & Immersion Director’s Office for additional information 217-424-6205.
In case of an emergency that could close the University, please contact Campus Public Safety at 217-464-8888.

halls for a very affordable rate. Charges will be posted to the student account. Students living in The Woods should contact The Woods office at 217-464-8635 for May Immersion classes to ensure apartments are available for use. Individuals living in Greek housing should clear arrival date with their chapter president.
Final Examinations Final examinations for most courses will be given at the last scheduled class meeting. The specific hour will be announced by the instructor. Course Evaluations
Students will be able to use cash or "flex dollars" on their meal cards at a reduced number of locations. Students must complete the validation process in order for their meal cards to be activated.
We provide a convenient online approach for evaluating each course. You will receive email instructions prior to the end of your summer term course about how to log in to MyMillikin to complete the evaluation process, and you will have until the end date of the class to complete the evaluation. All answers and comments are anonymous, reported back to the faculty and administrators as data from students in the class. Comments are reported back as text without names attached. Your evaluations are an important contribution in the development of the highest quality learning experiences possible at Millikin University.
Classroom assignments will be posted online at MyMillikin. Go to MUonline, then Course Listings, and select term: Summer Immersion 2020. Then select subject for course. Then submit. Classroom changes will be announced on MUonline. You may also contact the Registrar’s Office for classroom assignments at (217) 424-6217 or email nhotwick@millikin.edu
Grading
University Study Requirements
Grades are posted on MUonline at the end of summer. Incomplete grades awarded for course work must be resolved by the eighth week of the Fall 2020 semester. In the event that an incomplete is not resolved by that time, a grade of ‘F’ will be recorded. The full policy regarding incomplete grades is listed in the current Millikin University Bulletin.
With each course listing, current Millikin students will find in what way the course can fulfill their University Study requirements.

The purpose of this course is to immerse students in American studio cinema produced from the initial sound era through the early 21st century, specifically films which focus on crime and the American justice system. Hollywood movies have aided in shaping our evolving cultural identity as a nation, contributing to beliefs, norms, and ideals. Hollywood’s fixations on crime, gangsters, and the triumphs and failings of the American criminal Justice system have been longestablished. For decades the film industry actively attempted to reflect the culture and social structures of a country coming to terms with the realities of its criminal activity. The motion picture production code enumerated specific rules regarding the portrayal of criminals and crimes, but the industry was, and is, frequently accused of glorifying and profiting from criminal behavior.

In this course, we will study how American black female literary voices capture and characterize trauma experienced and witnessed in their communities, particularly the trauma resulting from injustices enacted on black men. Recognizing narrative’s capacity for bearing witness, and, in doing so, forging emotional connections between reader and character, we will look at how writers use devices of structure, voice, and perspective to convey trauma in ways that enable the reader to also bear witness, along with them. We will delve into the dynamics of narrative voice in authors such as Angie Thomas (The Hate U Give). We will resurrect James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk in order to study his construction the black female protagonist’s voice of witness. In the work of writers who attempt a "communal voice"—including the breathtaking fiction of Toni Morrison (Beloved) and the heartbreaking nonfiction of Jesmyn Ward (Men We Reaped)—we will discover innovative strategies that challenge the conventions of Western narrative. In their struggle to come to terms with their own and others’ experiences of injustice, these authors deconstruct socially constructed concepts like masculinity, race, and gender, and, in doing so, create new space(s) in their communities for healing, forgiveness, compassion, and new growth.

EN220-02 (CRN: 50032) or IN250-02 (CRN: 50046) Performance of Self: Chosen Visual Difference in North American Literature and Culture (Online) Instructor: Vicky Gilpin In this course students explore the body as performance, identity negotiation, visual representation, and self-presentation. They examine how characters in American literature visually depict different identities. The concept of “chosen visual difference” combines a meld of psychology, explanations/discussions on a range of chosen performances (tattoos, piercing, dermal modification, cosplay, fursuiting, subcultural clothing styles), and literature that aims toward those audiences. In this course students read literary works that portray community responses to difference (including violence toward people in alternative subcultures and bullying perspectives). Students also ponder questions of why and how literary characters choose to be seen as different by subverting, amplifying, rejecting, or altering physical norms through personal performativity.

Movie adaptations will give us perspective on the enduring appeal of the gothic and the changing interests in it.

Culture. The key question will be "why are the Nazis still a viable stereotype in politics, film and media?" In other words, there are a great many lessons about the horrors of fascism and Nazism.

Emphasis is placed on developing cultural intelligence, building global context and creating cross boundary partnerships and networks.
Conceptually, this course will consist of three main parts: (1) History of Astronomical Thought – including the birth of the Scientific Method, the Foundations of Physics, and the interplay between science and social, political, and religious power, which continues to this day. (2) Earth, the Moon, and the Inner (Terrestrial) Planets, and (3) The Outer (Jovian) Planets and Planetary and Solar System Formation.

This Introductory Sociology course has been developed to introduce you to some of the sociological concepts and theories we can apply to the social world around us, both regionally, nationally, and abroad. This course is not intended to be a full summation of the entire breadth of sociological knowledge that has been acquired over centuries; rather, the practice in this class will be to think, reflect, and then write about current sociological issues and events — understood through the lens of the sociological perspective.
This course introduces students to some of the most central theoretical issues within the topics of: war, human rights, and international law. This introduction is done primarily through the use of Michael Walzer’s Just and Unjust Wars as well as a number of supplemental texts. Walzer’s book utilizes a number of historical examples in order to yield a just war theory. One very important cross-over question, of which there are many, between war and human rights that we will consider is whether or not people (or the governments of people) have a moral obligation to intervene (by waging war) when the basic human rights of others are placed in jeopardy or simply disregarded.
