#Ensure that departments aren’t siloed; more interdepartmental and interdisciplinary initiatives on campus.

<p style="text-align: justify;">How to do this/key tactics:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Work on a comprehensive scheduling system with the TLC that allows students, faculty, and staff to engage resources and services year round. Encourage TLC to conduct more demonstrations on campus in popular locations and host bi-montly open-houses. Facilitate conversations around moving TLC to a more central/easily accessible location (which is already in progress!). Use their help to update/create an I&E website that highlight I&E related offerings, programs, and resources on campus</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">'''Problem 3: Student Academic Experience & IE'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'''Project 1: Inculcating soft skills in students'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Led by Kartikey Sharma</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Exposed students to skills and concepts they’ll use regularly in their professional life beyond the domain-specific skills they gain through their major related classes. Such a curriculum will include skills and projects such as networking, design thinking, cognitive bias awareness, guided mastery against fear of failure/negative feedback etc. In this way, they would be exposed to skills which are used regardless of occupation in professional life, as well as be better equipped and for innovative pursuits.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to do this/key tactics:&nbsp;</p>

#Integrating these skills into the curriculum of courses already required for graduation such as First Year Seminars, or Wellness Courses.

#The major part of the project would be the Student Speaker Series. There are two parts of the series. First, upperclassman can share their experience of how they end up with humanity majors with underclassman who are interested in humanity majors. Second, Career Service can help upperclassman with humanity majors connect alumni who graduate with humanity majors by inviting these alumni to campus and they can share experience of how they end up with their jobs.

#The second part is the Humanity Week/Campaign where more connections across humanity departments could be enhanced. Art gallery can cooperate with Modlin Center to hold events related to art history and archaeology. Event like One book One Richmond could work with many humanity departments. In addition, departments could elect their own top 3 books, art work or music that fall under their categories, and they would share with all the students on campus.
