Hey Projects class,
Cooper's course catalog is attached. Please read!
Versions going back to 2008 are available online, and Katie can probably dig up older versions from the Archive if any historical questions come up: http://www.cooper.edu/students/registrar/course-catalog

On *Monday 10/24* we'll be joined by David Gersten for a Foundation Building walkthrough. See you then!

On *Sunday 10/23 at 7pm *you're invited to a casual dinner at Vic's place in Bushwick, BK with our friend Lincoln Alpern a student of the former Antioch College[1] who was also deeply involved with the Nonstop Institute[2]. *Please RSVP by Friday *with your availability (and any dietary restrictions), and we'll plan accordingly.
In 2008, Antioch's board actually shut down their college, due to financial mismanagement not so different from what happened at Cooper. In its absence the Nonstop Antioch movement independently and rigorously organized a school in exile. Lots to learn from them.
See also: this NYT article *"Can Antioch College Return From the Dead Again?"[3]*, as well as the Antioch documents scattered throughout the pink Reflections I book[4].
