Students Teaching Students

In coordination with an undergraduate-run organization called Students Teaching Students, CAS department faculty members mentor exemplary students who develop and teach 1-credit courses on a variety of subjects that advance expertise in communication and its role in public life. This semester, Associate Teaching Professor Lori Bedell is supporting undergraduates Kara Miller (who was in Lori’s RCL course a few years back) and Jess Strait as they teach a course titled “Period Talk: The Impact of Stigma on the Menstrual Equity Movement.”

Students explore democracy, culture and community in Ireland through CAS/PLSC 299H

This summer, a group of 24 Penn State students explored Irish history, art, traditions and politics through “The Culture of Democratic Deliberation in Ireland,” one of 14 faculty-led education abroad programs in the College of the Liberal Arts. During their travels, students visited Dublin, Galway and Lahinch to expand their knowledge of current Irish issues.

This program was led by Jessica O’Hara, teaching professor of communication arts and sciences, and Johan Bodaski, assistant teaching professor of communication arts and sciences. Both faculty leaders guided students through the course, CAS/PLSC 299H The Culture of Democratic Deliberation, while taking numerous excursions to enrich the learning experience.
