From: Extraordinary Times newsletter, Spring 2008
President Schrader describes Four Portals learning as education for a modern
Renaissance woman. But just what does such a woman look like?
She’s well-rounded. Her knowledge extends across disciplines, helping
her develop creative ideas informed by a deep understanding of science,
math, technology, art, language and world cultures.
She’s empowered. The Renaissance woman is confident of her abilities
and able and willing to express herself articulately in any situation.
She’s empathetic. She is not only aware of how people in other cultures
think and live, she is able to put herself in their place to truly understand
their needs, point of view and what drives them.
She’s extraordinary. The Brenau Renaissance Woman is insightful and
reflective. She is able to discover the extraordinary within herself and tap
that power to build a life that makes a difference in large and small ways. |
