FOR MONDAY, AUGUST 4

We want you to start thinking of college as a place to discuss and start figuring out topics that are sometimes considered controversial. For this week, let's keep in mind the following:

• race
• gender
• sexuality

What do you currently think about these topics? Do you think about one more often than another?

Have you encountered or thought about any or all of these topics in a new or surprising way since you've started the Bridge program?

How hasthe book you've been reading for class discussed these topics?
