A note about CSS, and how I chose my major

I got interested in the College of Social Studies (CSS) my freshman year because I was dating a CSS boy. As it turns out, the major was a much better choice than the boy.

Typically, if you are a freshman interested in History, Government, Economics, or Philosophy, CSS is a great multi-disciplinary way of combining all those things. For me, though, my academic interests weren't necessarily in those areas. I just wanted to read a lot and write a lot and debate a lot about what we read and wrote, and CSS is a great way to do that too.

If you're at all interested in becoming a part of this warm, supportive, and challenging community, please consider attending one of our weekly Monday lunches (Noon, Woodhead lounge, in Exley) or Friday social hours (4pm, CSS lounge, 4th floor PAC).

This week's Monday lunch talk is on education and development in Rwanda, by Michael Brotchner, CSS '95, Executive Director of Orphans of Rwanda. Again, that's noon on Monday March 3, in the Woodhead Lounge.

More information on the CSS can be found here, and Applications are due March 28.

Hug a CSS Sophomore Day

While most of us are still trying to add our last classes and enjoying the relative lack of work these first few days of the fall semester, sophomore CSS majors are already popping Adderall and working on their first papers. Thus, today, Friday, September 8th, is Hug a CSS Sophomore Day. Because their lives are about to get much, much worse.
