Cort has served as a full-time faculty member in the UE program since fall 2001. In addition to teaching this course, he also coordinates the Fresham Assembly in the fall and serves on Western's QEP CORE Team. His UC 175 classes tend to focus on reading, discussion, and reflection on what it means to be a college student, how we live in our society, how society views college-aged individuals, and how to think critically and function well in college.
