This course focuses on such artists as Jan van Eyck and Albrecht Dürer, as well as such themes as the evolving representation of nature, witchcraft and other gendered imagery in art, and the early history of printmaking. Prerequisite: AAH 116 or 117 or permission of the instructor. Offered on rotation. Also offered through European Studies.
Neuroscience of Stress
When you get up to give a talk in front of your peers, your body responds just like an antelope being chased by a lion. Stress is an adaptive physiological response to stimuli that present an immediate threat to an organism present in all vertebrates. In humans this survival mechanism can be hijacked, wreaking havoc on the body and mind. This course will adopt an interdisciplinary approach to explore the science behind the relationship between stress, brain, body, and behavior. We will cover the biological mechanisms of stress and the neural pathways that coordinate the stress response.
Escape Room
The ODY Library would like to invite you to participate in a SLU-themed escape room. Your team will crack codes, open locked boxes, translate clues, and more in this thrilling race against the clock!
This activity is digital-free; requiring creative use of the library materials and primary sources provided in the escape room. Work together to complete ‘missions’ pertaining to SLU, Canton, and North Country history to successfully ‘escape.’ The escape room is best suited for groups of 8-15 students per session, and typically takes about an hour to complete.
