Quarter at Aggie Square is one year old. It is going to grow up fast in the next year, since this fall will be the first opportunity students and faculty have to work together in person on the university’s Sacramento campus.
After a year of remote instruction on the one hand and global tumult on the other, students and faculty alike are primed to collaborate on new kinds of learning that can help improve the world.
Faculty have a lot of questions about how Aggie Square is evolving. The most challenging ones come from faculty who are curious but may not see how exactly they fit into a new campus with the emerging themes of translational research, experiential learning and community engagement.
The opportunity to work differently in some key area — whether research or teaching or service — is clearly a motivating factor for curious faculty who take me up on the invitation to explain where we are in the project’s evolution.
Sacramento Artist Performs for Students in Transformative Justice Studies
By Sharon Knox
Leadership from Oak Ridge Elementary and Aggie Square joined the Quarter at Aggie Square’s Transformative Justice Studies students and faculty for a conversation with Sacramentan David Garibaldi about arts, education, and community.
“This past summer, we saw our world creating images that reflected how we felt, saying what we had no words for,” Garibaldi said. “Art has always been a voice for the unsaid.”
