“…Once we determined how to execute the course design, we then turned to selecting course materials that would work best with the mission of the class. As Capezzi and Kinsey [2] cleverly note, "we want[ed] to communicate to our students [. .…”

Blending perspectives from the humanities and STEM fosters the creativity of all students. The culturally implicit dichotomy between the two meta-disciplines can be overcome with carefully designed courses and programs intent on doing so. The why and how of doing so through an online course is described with qualitative evidence of the success. Future plans for a full slate of such course and a virtual community are discussed.

“…In this paper we describe an activity (a sudden-outbreak mock crisis) that allowed us to bring together two elective courses, one from Rhetoric (Presidential Campaign Rhetoric) and one from Mathematics (Mathematical Epidemiology), and to enrich the student experience in both. In discussing our courses, we note several past collaborations between mathematicians and humanists, as readers considering new partnerships may wish to scan multiple ideas [3,8,16,19]. Evidence of the power of our experience is seen in the media coverage, both from our college [6,9] and from the Portland Press Herald newspaper [12].…”

This paper describes an interdisciplinary activity that crosses over between Mathematics and Rhetoric. The professors who created this activity both sought activelearning opportunities for their students, a sense of realism-even urgency-in what can otherwise be perceived as abstract material, and a meaningful liberal arts experience. Evidence of the power of this experience is seen in the media coverage, both from our college and from the Portland Press Herald newspaper. Both courses described in this paper are at the elective level, taken by majors or minors in their respective disciplines. Students have moderate to extensive backgrounds in their subject areas. However, adapted versions of our activity could involve students at more introductory levels.
