Discovery Foundation Skills: The Inquiry Course

Inquiry courses prepare first-year students to succeed at the college level by helping them become active, independent thinkers who look at subjects and challenging problems from a number of viewpoints. All inquiry courses are small and involve experiential learning, e.g., learning by doing.

“Water is an astonishingly complex and subtle force in an economy. It is the single constraint on the expansion of every city, and bankers and corporate executives have cited it as the only limit to economic growth."
- Margaret Catley-Carlson, Vice-Chair, World Economic Forum

 

We look forward to engaging our community in dialogue about life's most basic need - water.
