We Make the Road by Walking ~ Paulo Freire
In addition to Professor Cain, I would like to extend a warm welcome as you begin your journey at Merrimack College. Both of us remain dedicated to creating an inclusive, welcoming, and safe community of learning where you have the opportunity to explore, question, discuss, research, and write about topics and issues that are important to you, the 21st century learner. We view our students as fellow members of a community of practice where peer to peer and peer to faculty dialogue form the basis for deepening our understanding of what it means to think critically, communicate effectively, and ultimately to participate in positive, social transformation. According to Wenger, "Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly." We formally invite you to enter the conversation that is your past, present, and future here in Honors WRT1050.
