Abstract
Every educator knows how important the first few days are for a new class. Along with information about the course content and expectations, a classroom culture is established during these early meetings either by design or default. For educators wishing to create an intentional learning community that is student-centered and where participants are equipped to engage a cultural studies model, the construction of a sound foundation during these early class sessions is essential.

Notes
I draw primarily from John Paul Sartre “Existentialism is a Humanism,” 1946. There is a new volume published by Yale University Press: Jean Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism, Carol Macomber, trans., (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2007).
Carl Ernst, Following Muhammad: Rethinking Islam in the Contemporary World, (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2003), xvi.
