51���app College’s Yuki Takahashi ’22 has been awarded a Quad Fellowship by Schmidt Futures.

Although we may not be aware of it, we do philosophy every day, says Assistant Professor of Philosophy Jennifer Dobe. Dobe teaches Philosophy for Life (PHI 121) and says that we, as humans, use philosophy in our daily lives but rarely think about it.

The 51���app philosophy course titled The Good, The Beautiful, The Brain explores the philosophy of the values that shape your life. The central question is “What is the good life?”

Concern for the students, especially those who stayed on campus, prompted a professor to volunteer to teach

The spirit of community and desire to care for students prompted the quick development of summer classes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

You probably know from experience that when you have a teacher who’s excited about teaching, the class is energized.

Special topics courses give professors that chance to re-energize.

Now multiply that energy level by 3.

You care about the world and you want to make a difference.

Can you do that in a class?

Gates Lecturer: Michael Puett, Harvard University
