Description
The Blue Stool Project is a series of flash lectures given on the Champlain College campus, appearing in the central courtyard with a goal of addressing topics that might not normally come up in the classroom. This engaging, open conversation style of teaching/learning was conceived by Bob Selby and further refined during monthly occurrences.
Blue Stool talks are opportunities for Champlain College faculty and staff to share their passion for learning and ideas with students (and others) outside of the classroom. Students are encouraged to attend. The talks are meant to provoke thought, deepen understanding, and encourage listeners to reconsider ways of knowing. The topics may or may not be controversial in subject matter, but all aim to provide opportunities for listeners to learn.

Description
Champ 101 Peer Facilitators are student leaders who mentor first-year students as they transition to Champlain College. For the first 10 weeks of the fall semester, a Faculty/Staff Facilitator and a Peer Facilitator work together with a cohort of 20 students. They co-facilitate required workshops once or twice per week, meet together to plan and reflect, study the Champ 101 curriculum, and support students one-on-one as needed.
This is a terrific opportunity to serve as a welcoming peer resource, strengthen public speaking skills, and give back to the Champlain community. Peer Facilitators receive initial training and ongoing support throughout the program.
We encourage all motivated students to apply to become a Champ 101 Peer Facilitator. Recruitment starts in the spring semester for the following academic year. Keep an eye out for the job posting on Handshake.
