Native Heritage
The wave of settlers who traveled sight unseen to tiny Potsdam, N.Y., more than 200 years ago were not the first people to inhabit this place—not by a long shot.
Teaching a WAYS 301 Course
WAYS 301 Design Guidelines Submitting a proposal to the Potsdam Pathways Curriculum Committee to teach a WAYS course for the first time is the culmination of a process beginning a year prior to first offering the class. That year involves professional development in skills pedagogy, consultation with skills experts, the appropriate WAYS Coordinator, and fellow WAYS faculty, as well as support in course preparation and approval.
Ways of Beginning
Ways of Beginning There are 3 courses (9 credits) required for Ways of Beginning. Information for each course, including Students Learning Outcomes, are detailed below.

Wearing a wig, ’80s makeup and rocking out on a keytar in the middle of the Atlantic, Jessica Petersen’s first full-time job out of college was anything but ordinary. As a musician on numerous Carnival cruise ships, Petersen has traveled all over the world and has played the keys for everything from jazz to disco and classic rock to ’90s music.
