CIEL Voices & Visions: A Student Journal Interpreting the World Editors' Introduction 2006 When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details. -Heraklietos of Ephesos This on-line journal brings together the words and images of students from three different colleges (Fairhaven College, New College, and Daemen College) members of the Consortium of Innovative Environments for Learning (CIEL). The pieces reflect the voices and visions of the students in these colleges, and provide a small window into ways these innovating colleges work with students. Most of these pieces were created in response to a question or an assignment in a writing or printmaking class, a prompt for an external learning journal, or a project in a class addressing a theme or issue. Some were created outside of any class or formal projects as expressions of voice and vision . As in previous years, editing this on-line journal has been both a challenge and a joy. The submissions trickled in slowly, but finally e-mail boxes filled up with remarkable work. I want to thank the CIEL campus coordinators from the participating colleges for responding to e-mails hounding them about deadlines and for gathering the pieces from their campuses. I also extend a special thanks to Danielle Woodman at Daemen College for being our web-mistress. CIEL's thanks also go to the Fund for the Improvement for Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) for the grant that supported the collaboration that has developed among and between our campuses. Finally, we want to express our gratitude to our students for sharing their voices and visions. The Editors, Marie Eaton, Campus Coordinator |
