| Project Details | Students learn how to apply ideas, theories, and models to social issues in a practical context while gaining insights from practitioners in community-based organizations. This course will enable students to apply course concepts to a “real life” experience that meets a community need. Students will work with the Wagon Wheel Residents Committee as a community partner on documenting their neighbhorhood’s history. The basic aim of Community Service Learning is two-fold: (1) that students’ service will heighten the understanding of central academic themes, goals, or subject matter in their courses (2) that the academic course content will facilitate students’ ability to reflect in deep and meaningful ways on their experiences as agents of social change. |
