DATES: March 20-24, 2006

1 CREDIT: SOC 403 WS: 36th Annual Popcorn Forum

COURSE SCHEDULE LISTING: SOC 403 WS: 36th Annual Popcorn Forum

CRN: 60191

The theme for the 36th annual Popcorn Forum is “A Journey Through Time: A Dialogue with the Great Minds From History.”  The Popcorn Forum presents several days of keynote addresses, workshops and panels concerning the central theme and provides students an opportunity this spring to earn 1 workshop credit  toward the Certificate in Diversity and Stratification.  All Popcorn Forum events will take place on the North Idaho College campus (except for the 9^th Annual Human Rights Banquet) and are free and open to the public (except for the Banquet which costs $25).  To earn one credit towards the certificate, students must register for the workshop credit PRIOR to attending the Popcorn Forum and email John Mihelich informing him of the student’s participation.  Students must then attend 15 hours of activities from the Popcorn Forum Schedule.  The amount of events available for this year is more limited than in the past, so, to meet the required 15 hours, students will need to attend events nearly every day.  Please contact John Mihelich if you have any questions about attending.  After attending, students are required to write a brief synopsis of each event attended AND a two-page (single-spaced) summary essay explaining what they learned and how the experience contributed to their diversity education. The credit is graded based on attendance and the quality of the written submissions.
