PROVOST’S WELCOME
It is a special joy to welcome all the
new and continuing students to Thurgood
Marshall College. TMC has a great legacy,
promoting cultural responsiveness, social
equality, and civic justice. An exceptional
education is a valuable gift, and the
diverse intellectual, social, and artistic
community of students and staff at
Marshall is our greatest source of pride.
Our motto at Thurgood Marshall College
is “The Student as Scholar and Citizen,” and you will find
here a fascinating twining of the two. The opportunities in
front of you on and off campus are exciting and enriching.
We strongly believe that each of you can help cultivate
and define the world you will soon inherit. Our TMC staff is
extremely attuned, committed, and caring.
To quote American poet Langston Hughes:
“Hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly.”

DIMENSIONS OF CULTURE
What is DOC?
The Dimensions of Culture Program (DOC) is the required writing program
for all first-year students at Thurgood Marshall College. It differs from other
freshman composition courses in that it applies social science and humanities
methods to issues of social justice in the United States. The writing instruction
is integrated with critical reading, analysis, and interpretation. You will get a
syllabus at the first DOC lecture every quarter which will have more detailed
information. Be sure to check your UCSD email for announcements.
When is DOC?
DOC lectures meet three times a week in a lecture hall that holds a few
hundred students. DOC discussion sections are much smaller, and meet once
a week for DOC 1, and twice a week for DOC 2 and DOC 3. Be sure to check your
Class List and Weekly Planner on TritonLink to make sure you know when and
where your classes are held!
Where is DOC?
Your DOC discussion section will meet in a classroom in Sequoyah Hall and
be led by a graduate student Teaching Assistant. The DOC lectures meet in
various lecture halls on campus, and are led by professors. Again, check your
Weekly Planner on TritonLink for specific locations. If you have any questions
after reviewing the DOC website (see below), please email Sue at
docinfo@ucsd.edu.
