February 2019 – SJFC Honors

Perspectives in Storytelling…

by Brandon Schlemmer

Perspectives Through Storytelling is a brand new Honors course that has an approach different from any other. Taught by Professor and Rochester Journalist Mary Stone, this class addresses today’s current issues through the lens of a journalist. Throughout this semester, we will be conducting interviews on various groups of people ranging from the disadvantaged youth of Rochester to people from different countries. The primary objective of this course is to open our eyes and “burst our bubbles” by embracing the unknown.
