Each academic program is built upon a strong general education in the liberal arts and sciences, with a blending of hands-on, immersive learning with industry-level knowledge and the liberal arts tradition. Students also participate in field experiences or projects related to career goals, and the College provides a wide range of other off-campus learning options, including a Community Engagement and Internship requirement. The College seeks to blend theory with practice beyond the classroom with co-curricular experiences in intercollegiate athletics, career planning, campus life, student activities, and student leadership opportunities–all of which complement academic programs. There is more to a college, however, than its majors, courses, and co-curricular programs. Elmira College takes pride in the talent, commitment, and dedication of its faculty and staff. Additionally, alumni and friends contribute greatly to the success of the College and to the quality of education it offers. We take equal pride in the more intangible but equally important human dimensions of our people— their spirit of caring, empathy, openness and sensitivity. We believe these qualities are crucial in helping students develop their own paths of exploration and self-discovery. The holistic development of our students is at the heart of the mission of Elmira College and a key component of its tradition of transforming lives. Elmira College Mission Statement Grounded in the liberal arts and sciences, Elmira College provides a collaborative and supportive environment that enables students to become active learners, effective leaders, responsible community members, and globally engaged citizens. Proud of its history and tradition, the College is committed to the ideals of community engagement and intellectual and personal growth. Accreditation and Memberships Elmira College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, 3624 Market Street, Second Floor West, Philadelphia, PA 19104, (267) 284-5000. The Commission on Higher Education is an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the United States Secretary of Education and the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation. Elmira College is registered for teacher education by the New York State Education Department. Elmira College is a member of the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP). Pursuant to §52.21 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, the educator programs offered by Elmira College are considered to be continuously accredited for purposes of meeting the New York State requirement that all such programs maintain continuous accreditation. The Nursing program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing Inc., 3343 Peachtree Road, NE, Suite 850, Atlanta, GA 30326, (404) 975-5000, www.nlnac.org. The College is a member of The National Collegiate Athletic Association, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, the Council of Independent Colleges, and other national and regional councils and associations. 3 | P a g e Charter and Curricula Founded in 1855, Elmira College is chartered by the Regents of the University of the State of New York. Curricula are registered with the New York State Education Department and are approved for the education of veterans and dependents of deceased and one hundred percent disabled veterans. The College is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students. Academic Programs Graduation and major requirements serve as guides for students and academic advisors in the planning of individual degree programs. They represent the basic accomplishments necessary for an earned certificate or degree and reflect the College’s philosophy of education. Formal on-campus instruction is enhanced through Elmira College’s Field Experience programs and other special academic opportunities. Students may spend the Spring Term in a variety of important programs such as studying marine biology on the Bahamian island of San Salvador or select other Elmira College study abroad opportunities. Campus Life The out-of-class life on the campus offers a significant number of opportunities for students to participate in social, cultural, recreational and athletic activities. Many activities and events are organized for student development, participation and enjoyment. The College has traditionally held that the out-of-class environment makes a significant contribution to a student’s overall experience. Research and theory note that each student enters college at a different developmental level. As is the case in many aspects of academic life, an effort is made to consider individual preparation levels. Students are urged to become involved in their personal development in a manner that complements academic development. We expect each student to take the initiative necessary to become an involved campus citizen, and access the many resources available for personal development. Orientation Elmira College has a unique series of programs designed to introduce new students and their families to the College community. During the summer, members of the new class are encouraged to attend one of our Summer Orientation programs. At this time students will work with an academic advisor to complete their course selection and registration for the Fall Term. Parents are encouraged to participate with their student and will have an opportunity to meet many members of the College community. Our goal is to provide vital information about the College. Prior to the beginning of classes for the Fall Term and Winter Term, the College holds an orientation program for all new students. Orientation is designed to help students acculturate to college life. This event is designed to support the academic and social success of our students. Residence Requirements All students will be required to reside in College housing. Exceptions to this policy include the following: •Married students •Students residing with their parents or biological children within commuting distance (thirty miles from campus) •Students twenty-three years of age or older 4 | P a g e Students currently residing on campus who meet the above criteria and wish to live off campus must complete the Request to Live Off Campus form available in the Office of Residence Life. The request will be reviewed by the Director of Residence Life. All students over the age of twenty-three desiring on-campus housing will need to meet with the Director of Residence Life before housing is provided. A determination will be made as to whether or not the residence halls will suit a non-traditional aged student’s needs. Final decisions are also based on available space in the residence halls and the suitability of living requirements. Part-time students are those persons who register for fewer than 9 credits during Fall Term or Winter Term, or who enroll for fewer than 4 credits during Spring Term or Spring A Term. Part-time students who wish to live in a college residence should contact Director of Residence Life, Office of Campus Life, Campus Center, (607) 735-1821, for further information. To qualify,

  • Jan Lendl Uy Sir Jay Flores Introduction to Philosophy of The
    Uy 1 Jan Lendl Uy Sir Jay Flores Introduction to Philosophy of the Human Person 1 April 2018 Comparative Philosophical Analysis on Man’s Existential Purpose: Camus vs. Marcel The purpose of man’s existence has been a topic of study and debate ever since the dawn of philosophy during the time of ancient Greece. This topic is quite broad and complex as the purpose of man differs in perspective. Throughout the course of many eras, philosophers continuously sought for the true essence of human existence. As of today, there is still no definite answer to this as we, humans, remain divided by our own beliefs. This divide roots back from the varying views of philosophers who expressed their own interpretation of man’s existence, backed up by thorough research and lifelong studies. Among many views, there are two particular philosophical perspectives which are prominent for their contrasting qualities: existentialism and absurdism. Existentialism proposes that the individual has free will, which means he has the capacity to create his own purpose in life. According to Jones College, the existentialist view illustrates that humans are thinking beings who are capable of living in independence. We shape our own lives. The individual is free to choose what to believe in and is solely responsible for every decision and action made. Existentialism puts forward the idea that man is an independent being who has the freedom to make its own interpretation of the purpose of existence. Uy 2 Leonora Cohen, in explains that, in the existentialist view, the world does not have an inherent meaning (2).

  • Rereading Joseph Heller?S Catch-22 from the Viewpoint of Existential
    Uluslararası Sosyal Araştırmalar Dergisi The Journal of International Social Research Cilt: 10 Sayı: 49 Volume: 10 Issue: 49 Nisan 2017 April 2017 www.sosyalarastirmalar.com Issn: 1307-9581 REREADING JOSEPH HELLER’S CATCH-22 FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF EXISTENTIAL PHILOSOPHY AND CAMUS’ ABSURDISM Mehmet Recep TAŞ * Abstract Published in 1961, Joseph Heller's Catch-22 came into prominence among important American novels of the twentieth century. It coined a new expression that connotes the illogical, inconsistent and irrational situations. It deals with the absurdities and unsolvable paradoxical policies of the state’s policymaking groups that drive the individuals into a meaningless, absurdist worldview. It is likely as well to assert that Catch-22 is a novel, which reflects and promote an existential worldview. However, this worldview is closer to Sartre’s standpoint than that of Camus’. Considering the novel, the existential philosophy of Sartre (which suggests that we're able to basically invent meanings of our own) and Camus’ absurdism (which suggests that the search for meaning is in itself both absurd and determined to fail, so; we should embrace the absurd and find happiness in it), this article aims to underline the importance of adopting the existential philosophy of Sartre for the individuals to cope with the sense of nihilism when confronted with the absurdities of today’s world policy making groups. Keywords: Catch-22, Absurdism, Camus, Existentialism, Sartre. INTRODUCTION In order to understand and evaluate a novel written decades before the time in which we live, contrary to New Critics who focus merely on the form dismissing the historical back ground of the work and the experiences by which the author has created the work, it is essential to have a look on social, political issues and the zeitgeist of the period.

  • Existentialism
    TOPIC FOR- SEM- III ( PHIL-CC 10) CONTEMPORARY WESTERN PHILOSOPHY BY- DR. VIJETA SINGH ASSISTANT PROFESSOR P.G. DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY PATNA UNIVERSITY Existentialism Existentialism is a philosophy that emphasizes individual existence, freedom and choice. It is the view that humans define their own meaning in life, and try to make rational decisions despite existing in an irrational universe. This philosophical theory propounds that people are free agents who have control over their choices and actions. Existentialists believe that society should not restrict an individual's life or actions and that these restrictions inhibit free will and the development of that person's potential. History 1 Existentialism originated with the 19th Century philosopher Soren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche, but they did not use the term (existentialism) in their work. In the 1940s and 1950s, French existentialists such as Jean- Paul Sartre , Albert Camus and Simone de Beauvoir wrote scholarly and fictional works that popularized existential themes, such as dread, boredom, alienation, the absurd, freedom, commitment and nothingness. The first existentialist philosopher who adopted the term as a self-description was Sartre. Existentialism as a distinct philosophical and literary movement belongs to the 19th and 20th centuries, but elements of existentialism can be found in the thought (and life) of Socrates, in the Bible, and in the work of many pre-modern philosophers and writers.
