CORE 400 - The Franciscan Vision:Self,Service and Society

Institution:

Felician University

Subject:

Description:

The senior-year capstone experience course in the Core Curriculum. Relying on the American heritage of concern for the rights and dignity of the individual, coupled with the Franciscan belief in the transcendent value and communal under-standing of the person, this course fosters a sense of service informed by these traditions. This course also aims to deepen civic responsibil-ity and an understanding of the Franciscan tradi-tion while empowering students through direct involvement with a wide array of persons, includ-ing health care workers, business persons, politi-cians, educators, clergy, social workers, children, elderly persons, physically challenged individuals, homeless persons, community leaders and public officials. Students meet weekly in a seminar set-ting to share their respective off-campus service experiences in light of assigned readings and keep journals reflecting upon their service work in dialogue with course content.
