#4: Cultural Lyceum Opportunity
#4: Cultural Lyceum Opportunity For more than three decades, the College of Agricultural, Life and Natural Sciences (CALNS) has sponsored a themed week of activities that celebrates, as well as highlights the accomplishments of its students, faculty, staff alumni and retirees. Although the specifics of how this is done have been modified over the years, the goal is still to pause “business-as-usual” and spotlight the research efforts of students, academic achievements as well as offer an opportunity to solidify and maintain the cohesiveness of the College through lectures, campus activities, departmental displays, music, food, fun and fellowship - which is extended to the entire campus of Alabama A&M University and the Huntsville community. This year, 2016, has the theme of Creating Attitudes of Learning and New Strides, which focuses on “Getting to K.N.O.W. Agriculture”. In knowing Agriculture the acronym stands for Killing Negative Outlooks Worldwide. This takes into consideration that agriculture is not just about farming, and challenges the negative stereotypes that are conjured up when this generation hears the word. So within CALNS, we are meeting those images and ideas headon, and desire to broaden the agricultural concepts not just on this campus, but ultimately impacting a worldview through our research and international outreach activities. The Schedule of Activities is as follows: (5 Cultural Lyceum Opportunities: 50 points each) Monday, 09/26 Killing Negative Outlooks Worldwide K.N.O.W.
