CI-104 Historic Mentors: Biographies of the Creative and Innovative

Mentoring is becoming a lost art form. However, it is crucial for passing down the best of our civilization. This course offers a vicarious mentoring that enables students to critically learn from and assess the experience of others in a vast array of contexts. Thus, students are presented with a cross-section of role models for creative, innovative and ethical success.
