LH455 Lasallian Honors Capstone 4 credits<br />

This senior-year colloquium provides a capstone experience in which students explore the four spheres<br />

<strong>of</strong> adult life: citizenship, work, marriage and the family, and faith. Students are challenged to engage<br />

these themes through close reading and discussion <strong>of</strong> texts, reflection on their education in the<br />

Lasallian Honors Program, and service learning. The purpose <strong>of</strong> this course is to prepare students to live<br />

out the Lasallian charism in the contemporary world. Texts used in the course may include Tocqueville's<br />

Democracy in America, Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, essays by Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton, and<br />

short stories by a variety <strong>of</strong> American authors. The course includes a service-learning component, in<br />

which students work at the Catholic Worker houses in Winona.<br />
