INTS 102: Community Service-Learning

Course Description

Students in this course will link an academic component with a mindful engagement to their community.  Through prior arrangement with the respective local agency relevant to the field of study (e.g. homelessness, the effects of incarceration, the position of the elderly in culture and society), a significant portion of course time will be spent in field experience, the challenges and rewards of which students will process in reflective journals and class discussions of assigned readings. Under guidance of interdisciplinary faculty, students will pursue the completion of this service through a minimum of five meaningful and productive contact hours on site per week. Topics and faculty will vary. Prerequisite: Instructor consent.
