Finalprospectus3.Pdf a message from the president Campion is different. Different in the degree we offer; different in our approach; different in our purpose. Campion is the only Catholic liberal arts college in Australia. As a fully-accredited tertiary institution, we go directly to the core of education, faith and human flourishing. Campion goes to the core of education and immerses you in a core curriculum that all students study together — a curriculum designed not just to impart information but also to train you how to think. And our small size enables a genuine community of learning. Campion also goes to the core of faith. Where many approach university as nothing more than career training, we focus on your entire formation - spiritual, intellectual, social and vocational. We are Catholic in identity but desire to help all students live out their faith in all of life. Finally, Campion goes to the core of human flourishing. A generation from now, you will likely be serving in influential fields such as law, business, medicine, government, arts and media; you will be forming families or perhaps serving in clerical roles and other religious vocations; and you will be professors at the most respected institutions in Australia. In these positions you will exercise reflective, responsible leadership, bringing to bear the skills, character, wisdom and vision that you cultivated in early adulthood. Imagine the difference that a core, Christ-centered liberal arts education will make on your formation, and then imagine the difference you, as graduates, will make on our society! Your university years will be some of the most important of your life. Choose carefully! This prospectus highlights the ways that Campion College can help equip you for your future. The relationships, ideas and dreams you form here will shape your worldview and identity to the core.

Campion College is different: we have personalised the student experience from application to graduation. We won’t send you to a third party application centre after our first encounter with you. To make this prospectus more interactive, we have placed QR codes on certain pages. These appear as black and white barcodes that can be scanned with a smart phone via any QR reader app. Each code in this prospectus is linked to online content directly related to what you read on the page, so you’re sure to get all of the information that you need. Explore and enjoy the Campion difference! 2 3 the liberal arts: what and why? The Liberal Arts represent a different approach to education — an approach focused not merely on job training but on teaching students to think, problem solve, and communicate effectively. The Liberal Arts as taught at Campion are Philosophy, Literature, History, Theology, Science, Maths and Latin. These are the subjects that teach students how to understand the world and their place in it. The Liberal Arts ‘liberate’ students from a single career track, which they often have to choose too early in life. A liberal arts degree frees students to pursue a much broader range of options. The Liberal Arts equip students with the flexibility and well-roundedness required in today’s job market. University graduates can expect to change careers, on average, once every five years. Whereas most specialised degrees prepare students for only their first job, a liberal arts education equips them to move into and succeed in their third, fourth, and fifth jobs. 4 problems in large universities Most universities today force students to choose their career and specialize their studies too early. Sadly, students are expected to discern the pathway for their entire lives at age 16! This approach narrows their education and may leave their true interests and skills undiscovered. As a result, many young people drop out of courses after a few years because they realise they aren’t suited for or don’t enjoy the field. Many universities offer huge, impersonal classes that squeeze hundreds of bodies into a lecture hall. Universities this large not only struggle to create genuine community but often treat students as mere numbers. Furthermore, most modern universities offer a smorgasbord of subjects in hopes that students will find something they already like. Little attempt is made to relate subjects to each other or to show how all fields of knowledge hold “Modern secular education is failing … because it has no moral, social or intellectual centre. There is together. This approach fails not only to no set of ideas or attitudes that permeates all parts challenge students to cultivate interest in new fields of the curriculum. The curriculum is not, in fact, a but also to provide a sense of coherence in their ‘course of study’ at all but a meaningless hodgepodge studies. of subjects.” - NEIL POSTMAN 5 Campion College is different Campion allows students time to explore different fields and discover different passions. Like most undergraduates in the United States, Campion students choose a major after their second year of study and then pursue a specialised degree upon completing their bachelor’s degree. Campion offers an integrated core curriculum. This means that, for their first two years, all students take the same courses together as a community. What they study in History links with the concepts they learn in Philosophy, which connect with their readings in Literature and their lessons in Theology. This approach helps students make sense of the relationships between distinct fields and topics. All of the academic faculty at Campion have at least one Ph.D. from leading universities. Campion’s uniquely small class sizes enable students direct access to their professors, ensuring they receive individual attention. And whereas Campion’s library contains over 25,000 volumes, we also offer students “Perhaps the most important contributions schools personal

  • The Austin Woodbury Archives
    Th e Austin Woodbury Archives: Collection and Preservation of Historical Materials by Angela Kolar, College Librarian, Campion College ith the great emphasis of aligning our libraries with the most contemporary IT developments and W matching our digital and online services along with major academic libraries, and in the thrust of all this activity to constantly maintain the relevance of our libraries, we can overlook the distinctive nature and responsibility of theological libraries and libraries with a strong theological component. Th e Campion College Library is a liberal arts library in the Catholic tradition with no vocational subjects, the only one of its kind in Australia – liberal arts meaning the inclusion of Th eology along with Philosophy, History, Literature, from antiquity through the medieval period to modern times based on the early Oxford tradition of incorporating Th eology and Church History as the major fulcrum around which the related subjects develop. Th e College occupies what was once a Marist Seminary continuing an historical line from a teaching seminary, to the establishment of Campion College for the formation of young students in the Catholic faith in the heritage of the European western traditions of historical inquiry and learning. Th e Marist Seminary at Old Toongabbie (the third settlement in the historical establishment of Sydney), was the fi rst Marist Seminary in Australia. Th e Marist Fathers originated in France founded by Fr Jean Claude Colin in 1836.1 One of the fi rst major missions of the Marist Fathers was to the Oceania Region at the end of 1836.2 St Peter Chanel was a member of that original missionary group.3 He was martyred in 1841 in the South Pacifi c on the Island of Futuna after having succeeded in converting the son of the king of the island to the Christian faith.

  • The Campion STUDENT HANDBOOK 2021
    The Campion STUDENT HANDBOOK 2021 Welcome to the academic year! I would particularly like to welcome all new students to the College. Campion College is a unique institution in Australia - the first institute of higher education dedicated to the Liberal Arts. Here at Campion we are committed to the Catholic Liberal Arts tradition, whereby an education is truly about the fostering of the life of the mind and the pursuit of wisdom. In order to think freely as humans we need the tools that liberate us to know and contemplate all that is good and true. These tools are what Campion provides. Engaging with ideas, reflecting on the big questions, knowing our past, thinking logically, investigating the insights of faith and reason, reading great works, constructing arguments, are just some of the ways that the life of the mind is fostered at Campion College. Campion, though, is not just about the life of the mind; we attempt to engage and to form the whole person. Grounded in the Catholic tradition, we see no conflict between a dedicated life of study and the flourishing of the whole person. At the heart of Catholic culture is liturgy and prayer from which flows a social, artistic and sporting life that is truly integrated with the intellectual life. Here at Campion there are many opportunities to participate in this culture as well as space for you to contribute your own initiatives in developing the life of the College. I invite you to participate fully in all that is offered. As part of educating you in wisdom there is special care taken at Campion in relation to your individual academic development.

It has been accepted for inclusion by an authorized administrator. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 Importing the American Liberal Arts College? Kristine Mitchell and Cotten Seiler The liberal arts model of higher education is simultaneously under attack in the United States— the place where it is most entrenched—and being embraced, at least in part, elsewhere in the world. In this essay, we look at the utilitarian concerns that motivate these domestic and international shifts, paying special attention to what Chinese experiments with liberal arts education might mean for future developments in that country. “Irrelevant”? The Attack on the Liberal Arts Model in the United States In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile challenges to the funding of liberal arts disciplines in American public universities. Allocation of public funds to these fields is portrayed as wasteful and decadent by a number of prominent and vocal critics. Florida governor Rick Scott said in a 2011 interview that he wanted to shift funds away from programs like anthropology (his daughter’s major!) and instead “spend our money getting people science, technology, engineering and math degrees. That’s what our kids need to focus all of their time and attention on: Those type of degrees that, when they get out of school, they can get a job [sic].”1 The idea was echoed more recently by North Carolina governor Pat McCrory.
