What do mask-making, eulogies, and communications have in common? Well, if you are a UW Bothell student and lucky enough to take Gavin Doyle\u2019s classes, you will certainly find out. For the final exam in \u201cDiscovery Core II: Speaking for the Living,\u201d students performed eulogies for UW Bothell faculty and staff. For authenticity\u2019s sake, the eulogies were delivered at Bothell\u2019s Life Celebrations by Washelli funeral home. David Jang gave a colorful eulogy for IAS assistant professor Christian Anderson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doyle didn\u2019t have much trouble locating faculty and staff who were willing to participate in an exercise that some might consider morbid. \u201cFar from being a morbid affair, participants reported being thrilled to hear a summation of their effects on the world,\u201d says Doyle who earned his M.F.A in Theater Performance. \u201cStudents gained new perspectives on the value and meaning of life, made personal connections with a wide range of UW Bothell faculty and staff, and developed their public speaking skills in an interesting way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course is part of UW Bothell\u2019s Discovery Core<\/a>, a series of required courses designed specifically for first year students. They are developed to intentionally increase capacity for active learning and conjure up critical and creative inquiry. The courses also give students the opportunity to increase their understanding of diversity and different world views while learning quantitative and writing skills for communication across different media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSpeaking for the Living\u201d isn\u2019t Doyle\u2019s only innovation in bringing together the arts with communication. In the IAS Improvisation Series class, \u201dMask Improvisation,\u201d Doyle engages students in the history of masks, the art of mask-making, and presentation. Students in this course learn to create an identity and communicate differently depending on the style of mask. For the final exam, students proudly exhibit<\/a> their masks and communication styles. This quarter\u2019s mask showcase will take place on May 27th in the UW1 2nd-floor Vista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis course strengthened my ability to effectively express my opinions to an audience,\u201d says Amanda-Mae Olegario, who is completing her first year and is currently enrolled in her second class taught by Doyle. \u201cThe fundamentals of public speaking that I learned specifically from this course will be something I will use during the rest of my college career and beyond. \u2018Speaking for the living\u2019 is by far the most memorable and exciting class I’ve taken during college.\u201d Olegario added, \u201cThe mock-eulogy was interesting because I was able to mix research with creativity and create a speech that reflected everything we’ve been working on all quarter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doyle\u2019s classes are just one example of the innovative ways that UW Bothell brings out the voice in our students from the time they step onto campus. To find out more about Discovery Core at UW Bothell click here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
