Virginia Wesleyan University

Subject:

Description:

Introduces and raises the civic consciousness of students about issues that impact the Hampton Roads community. Fostering an attitude of engaged citizenship is its goal. Students gain an understanding of issues from social, environmental, economic and civic perspectives. Students are introduced to an issue-based project and investigate the issue in depth through a week of research, lecture and presentation by local experts. This is followed by a week of direct service experience working with a local agency which deals with that issue. Reflection, assessment, consideration of broader contexts and construction of a follow-up plan to continue efforts addressing this issue cap the course. Identical to INST 124. Prerequisite: consent of program director. Offered each Winter Session.
