We will also look at dogdog communication (in love and war) and how dog-human communication works best based on some understanding of “their” language.

Diversity and Communication: Discussing (Almost) Anything with (Almost) Anyone

Do you sometimes feel as though you can’t speak up because you’re afraid of offending someone? Our backgrounds are so different it seems most communication takes place across cultural lines and barriers. Yet we probably suffer more from what goes unsaid than from what is spoken. Learning how to craft communication regarding potentially explosive issues is vital to healthy communities and families. It’s important to examine personal assumptions and boundaries and learn how to explore others’ histories and experiences. This year is like no other. The presidential election has opened dialogues on fascinating and sensitive issues such as race, gender, age, economic standing, education, religion, and job status. Join the discussion in a comfortable classroom environment, using carefully established communication guidelines. Everyone can learn how to discuss previously “forbidden” topics with both skill and positive intentions, in order for all to be enlightened and enriched through greater understanding. You will learn to: recognize verbal and nonverbal aspects of communication that can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunication; identify sources of assumptions, through self-assessment, to reveal personal boundaries to accepting diversity; communicate with ease with individuals from different cultures and backgrounds; and respond tactfully and effectively to offensive remarks made in your presence.

Successful Novel Writing: The Art & Craft of Plot

NEW! A novel is a work of dramatic fiction, and the drama in a novel is achieved through the plot. Ninety-nine percent of all novels submitted to literary agents, publishing houses and writing contests are rejected because of shortcomings in the plot. In this class we will take an extended and extensive look into this thing called plot, in order to assist you in achieving your writing and publishing goals. Through discussion, examples, and classroom, we will look into, among other things, what plot is, what it is not, where it comes from, the difference between storyline and plot line, the difference between character-driven story and plot-driven story, when to introduce plot into the storyline, how to build on it, and the importance of understanding the function of plot and its critical relevance for understanding virtually all other novel elements and principles (dialogue, description, scenes). This course is open to writers with works-in-progress and/or completed works. Dates: Tuesdays, January 27 – March 10 Time: 6-9 p.m. CRN: ENG209.19 Fee: $199 Instructor: David H. Morgan, David H.

Writing a Nonfiction Book Proposal That Sells

NEW! Are you writing or considering writing a nonfiction book? If so, here’s exciting news for you: A little-known truth of the publishing world is that 80% of all nonfiction book ideas are sold to publishing houses (by literary agents) in the form of book proposals rather than finished manuscripts. Unlike novelists, nonfiction book writers don’t have to write their books before finding out if their book concepts are salable or before receiving an advance for their books! But writing a book proposal is very different than writing a book. In this class we will look at what a book proposal is; the importance of writing a proposal rather than submitting a complete manuscript; why and how a book proposal is an effective document when there is a possible agent/publishing hesitancy regarding a particular book idea, author’s credentials, or market; what the different sections of a proposal are, and the ideal length of each; and how to successfully write each section. We will practice writing the different sections of a book proposal in order to become familiar with and fluent in each. Class members will receive sample book proposals and a recommended reading list. Dates: Tuesdays, March 17 – April 28 Time: 6-8:30 p.m. CRN: ENG209.20 Fee: $189 Instructor: David H. Morgan, David H.

IOP – Fundraising & Development Certificate Big Game Hunting – Planned Giving in Dev. Office

Too often development officers try to incorporate planned giving into their efforts by viewing it as a separate tool to assist with fundraising. According to many seasoned practitioners, however, this is not the best approach. Joe Bull, 2005 Chair of the Board of Directors of the National Council on Planned Giving, suggests that, “Planned giving is an active process.” Come hear about how Collegiate School implements this process and thereby consistently enjoys $1-3 million every year in deferred giving activity. How does pursuing planned gifts differ from raising outright/capital gifts? How does a small shop raise these gifts without a dedicated planned giving officer? What can a CEO do to help? What must a governing board do to promote success? Our study will also provide a working knowledge of each of the eight most common gifts in this area, including their main tax features.

HISTORY

Voices of Freedom-The Civil Rights Movement

NEW! The turn of the Twentieth Century produced great leaders like W.E.B. DuBois, who built a reputation as an “agitator-prophet” in his efforts to ensure that African Americans had every political, social and civil right that belonged to every freeborn American. In 1905 he gathered together a group of thirty black leaders on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, which began the Civil Rights activities that over time would become known as The Niagara Movement. This paved the way for the NAACP, which DuBois helped to found in 1910. DuBois opened the door for many other leaders and organizations like James Farmer and the Committee of Racial Equality (CORE). Renowned grass-roots civil rights organizer Fannie Lou Hamer lost her job in 1962 as a time-keeper on a cotton plantation in Montgomery County, Mississippi when she attempted to register to vote. This course will examine these, as well as other Twentieth Century Civil Rights leaders, organizations, non-violent protests and casualties.

The Lindbergh Women

NEW! Why is “A Gift From the Sea” (published 1955), by Anne Morrow Lindberg, still speaking to women today? This bestselling memoir, for three generations of women, explores this theme: “Find the core of your being. Make it an oasis for yourself and others. Do it because the quality of your life - in fact, the quality of Western civilization - depends on your authenticity.” Anne’s youngest daughter, Reeve, retraces her mother’s footsteps on Captiva Island fifty years later. She writes Forever From Here, just as she is about to turn sixty years old. Reeve writes about the devastation left behind by her father, Charles Lindbergh, when the family finds out he has three other families in Europe.

Even its location was fortotten until centuries of excavation unveiled it. Then it's into the exhibit itself, with Dr. Ostrand as our leader.As the playground of Rome's royal, political and financial elite, the slopes of Vesuvius have yielded the remains of these wealthy and sophisticated people in all their vivid glory.

Saturday Night Live and Television Censorship

NEW! For twelve years, William Clotworthy held the job most people believe doesn’t exist - network censor for Saturday Night Live! Mr. Clotworthy is speaking out with an illustrated presentation on some of his experiences with that famous program, not only about the personalities - Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Martin Short, and others - but the confrontations and arguments based on the main concerns of network censors - language, sexual material, stereotyping, drug and alcohol abuse and the treatment of controversial subjects. He tells of the tightrope walked by the censor, and how Broadcast Standards handled sketches having to do with such unlikely comedy subjects as the KKK, mastectomy, the Pope, South African apartheid, Presidents of the United States, flatulence, breast feeding in public, the Nativity and the Holocaust. Are they kidding?! Mr. Clotworthy spent over forty years in the advertising and broadcasting business where he worked in Hollywood and New York with such television luminaries as Groucho Marx, Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Bing Crosby and Ronald Reagan. His long association with major stars and successful programs provides an interesting and unusual perspective on the television industry, including the chaos and general nuttiness that was Saturday Night Live.

Landscape Design Process with Gordon Hayward

In this three-hour workshop, you will have an opportunity to take a new look at an existing garden or a new garden you’re planning. You will need to bring to class Drafting materials and a ‘proper scaled drawing’ of a garden you are currently working on. The workshop consists of a series of ten-minute slide-illustrated presentations that illustrate many elements within the design sequence. In these, Gordon explores such subjects as paths and itinerary, framework and the winter garden, coherence, pleasing contrast and combining plants all wrapped up in the bigger question: How does the family live in the garden? After each of these brief slide talks, you will have time for hands-on work with drawings and photos you bring of a garden as you explore specific changes to it. This workshop provides you with a practical and sequential design approach that will enable you to take a fresh look at your garden within a clear framework. The goal is to help you see an old garden in a new way so you can take it from where it is now to new levels of interest and subtlety. Gordon Hayward’s books will be available for purchase and signing during the workshop. Date: Friday, March 20 • Time: 9 a.m. – noon. • CRN: LAN.SPRING32 • Fee: $149 • CEUs: 0.5 Instructor: Gordon Hayward In 1971, Gordon Hayward graduated from Wesleyan University with a Masters, having already begun a 17 year career teaching high school students how to write. Hayward gardened for clients part-time during those years and in 1977 restored the gardens around the Broadwell Manor House in The Cotswold Hills in England. For the past 20 years Hayward and his wife, Mary, (who is from the Cotswolds) have been developing a one and one-half acre garden around their 220 year old cape in southern Vermont. In 1984, Hayward turned to the work of garden design, lecturing and writing full time. He consults across the country for residential clients, their architects and builders and has written nine books and over 50 articles for Horticulture Magazine and Fine Gardening Magazine that relate to this work.
