Pursue Truth: Read Responsibly. Think Critically. is intended to address information fluency by increasing students' ability to read critically.
Information fluency is the ability to interpret, communicate, problem-solve, and create across a variety of situations in a media-rich, data-driven, global information ecosystem.
Since critical reading is an essential vehicle for evaluating information, solving problems, and creatively integrating knowledge into a wide range of contexts to achieve information fluency, faculty workshops and a Community of Practice will be launched to cultivate these critical reading abilities in students.
