Description:

This course takes the student out of the classroom and into the world of action. Students participate in social services in the Newport community in order to learn directly the benefits of working cooperatively for the general good. Students also meet regularly with their instructors to discuss their service-learning project and reflect on the assigned readings. This work is especially beneficial when it is with people of a culture different from one's own. The goal is to experience the deep satisfaction derived from realizing in the "real world" the best ideas learned in the classroomduring the freshman and sophomore years. 3 credits.
