Everyone asks questions; some are more important than others.

Class #74197 | TuTh 1:30 – 2:45pm | Honors College, Rm 167 | David Jones

Honors 392-004 | The Mamba Mentality
Class #73252 | MoWe 10:30 – 11:45pm | Honors College, Rm 167 | GerDonna Ellis
In many social circles people grapple with the idea of living a life of purpose where they will die empty—meaning, they gave it their all. Kobe Bryant (the black mamba) was known for his work ethic and mamba mentality. Posthumously people like Bryant are praised; however, while they live, many critics arise with ethical questions around the leadership, drive, and relational impacts from a character like Bryant who lived obsessively “sold out” for a belief. This course will explore the core themes of belief, communication, and the drive for greatness through the backdrop of the 5 pillars of Kobe Bryant’s “Mamba Mentality.” This course will explore the personal and interpersonal impacts of one’s belief and the relentless pursuit of those ideals. Some of the questions we will tackle include: How do our actions reflect what we believe? What is greatness? What does it take to achieve our ideas of greatness? What are the implications of the “mamba mentality” on interpersonal relationships and communication?

Honors 392-008 | The Herbarium
Class #75199 | TuTh 10:30 – 11:45am | Honors College, Rm 167 | Kyle Kersh
Forty percent of the drugs behind the pharmacist’s counter in the Western world are derived from plants that people have used for centuries, including the top twenty best selling prescription drugs in the United States today. For example, quinine extracted from the bark of the South American cinchona tree (Cinchona calisaya) relieves malaria, and licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has been an ingredient in cough drops for more than 3,500 years. Explore the fascinating intersection of science and tradition, discovering how ancient knowledge and modern research combine to treat a wide range of ailments. These accounts will also be discussed in a pop culture sense throughout history in stories like the Odyssey, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and even The Lord of the Rings. Walk alongside remote communities and history in this class to understand the importance of plants’ medicinal properties and uncovering the therapeutic potential of plants and their profound impact on human health.
