During a time when students are distraught and impacted by ongoing crises, Health Sciences program coordinators are scrambling to address concerns raised by undergraduate students, leaving most thinking, “bruh literally what are they yapping about.”
Nonetheless, program coordinators are proactively tackling these concerns behind the scenes. Faculty members are currently being trained in preparation for the new Late Stage Capitalism (LSC) BHSc specialization, projected to start in 2025. So far, the new specialization entails the introduction of two new communications courses, “How to Write an Effective MS Teams Apology” and “Deflecting Responsibility in the Health Sciences.” Additionally, students undergoing the LSC specialization will engage in another three-hour inquiry course where they’ll be able to talk about everything except that one really concerning thing.
Students, though initially skeptical, are grappling with the unconventional curriculum change. Considering Praxis’ penchant for yoga classes and Kermit the Frog memes, some see this change as an avoidance tactic to sidestep difficult conversations, especially when students are increasingly demanding university leaders to take a stand on whether the Stanley Tumbler or Owala FreeSip is the superior self-care investment. For now, the BHSc office is offering gummy bears in the Health Sciences Lounge and a pat on the back for being a brave little goober.
