Emmanuel College 5 Emmanuel College

Mission To educate students in a dynamic learning community rooted in the liberal arts and sciences and shaped by strong ethical values, a commitment to social justice and service, the Catholic intellectual tradition and the global mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.

Vision Emmanuel will be widely esteemed as the college in the heart of Boston that leads the nation in combining an extraordinary liberal arts and sciences edu- cation in the Catholic intellectual tradition with a commitment to strong rela- tionships, ethical values and service to others. Students will choose Emmanuel as the place to develop in every respect while preparing for lives of leadership, professional achievement, global engagement and profound purpose.

Founded in 1919 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur as the first Catholic college for women in New England, Emmanuel today is a coeducational, residential college with a 17-acre campus in the heart of Boston’s educational, scientific, cultural and ­medical communities. Emmanuel enrolls more than 2,500 students, including 1,860 traditional undergraduate students from 30 states and 44 countries.

At Emmanuel College, excellence in the liberal arts and sciences intersects with experi­ ­ ential learning opportunities, including student-faculty collaboration on research and scholarship; internships with an array of corporations, institutions and nonprofits; service learning; study abroad programs; and scores of co-curricular activities that ­promote engagement and leadership. The College offers more than 50 majors, minors and concentrations in the liberal arts and sciences, along with graduate programs in education, nursing and management.

Emmanuel College is a values-based community that fosters a free exchange of ideas in which all questions, including those touching on faith, ethics and values, are discussed openly and vibrantly.

A strong sense of community allows students to connect easily with each other and ­faculty mentors, forming enduring relationships that enhance learning.

An Emmanuel College education challenges students to become leaders and professionals who are critical thinkers, ethical decision-makers and engaged members of the local community and global society.

HONOR3901 Creating and Producing Music-Theater (AI-A) The conception and production of Music- Theater works with a significant musical component and is a complex, creative under- taking, involving efforts by many individuals in a wide variety of roles working separately, as a team, and as leaders of that team. These productions, and the intense artistic and interpersonal interactions that occur as a result of creating them, have been part of Western society since the Middle Ages. From 1600-1920, Music-Theater was the domi- nant form of large-group artistic achieve- ment and entertainment; it continues to be a vital part of Western cultural expression to this day. This course will explore the history of this genre, the various musical, literary, visual, and architectural techniques required, and the group dynamics that arise from its creation and realization. It will culminate in an original scene with words, music, and sets, based on a historical event, and created by the class as a whole. Fall semester, expected fall 2015. 4 credits
