Final Essay
Making Connections
Prompt
Throughout this course, we have developed habits of
listening to the Catholic, Benedictine, and Liberal Arts traditions through
engagement with the primary and contemporary texts that inform these traditions
with an eye toward the relevance of the Saint Vincent core. Recognizing the
Saint Vincent College core as an expression of the Catholic, Benedictine, and
liberal arts traditions, our reflections have encouraged making connections
between these texts, and your personal and professional aspirations as students
at Saint Vincent College.
In that spirit, answer the question: how might themes of this course inform your
time at Saint Vincent and how might they shape your future studies at Saint
Vincent? In at least 1200 words,
highlight at least three themes from this course and discuss how they
might impact you as a student of Saint Vincent College (note: individual
faculty members teaching the course can choose to require a higher word count,
if they want).
Throughout
your paper, you
must include at least three distinct references to at least three different
texts from the course. You must include one text from the Catholic Intellectual
tradition, one from the Benedictine Wisdom tradition, and one from the Liberal
Arts tradition. You may choose to reference more than 3 texts. Be as concrete
as possible!
