SL 164 - Service Learn Immersion Approach

Institution:

Mount Mercy University

Subject:

Description:

In this travel course, students will immerse themselves in a service learning experience. During the winter term, students will spend the first few day of class learning about the importance of service through life and preparing for departure to San Juan, Texas. The class will then spend two weeks doing carious service projects in Texas and Mexico. The service experiences will range from building houses for those in need, to working at a free health clinic. Students will have some discretion regarding the type of service experiences they wish to perform. In addition, students will read, discuss and reflect on, though group sessions and writing, Robert Cole's book The Call of Service. Students will also be required to maintain a daily journal of reflections, participate in group discussions regarding daily activities, and prepare a group presentation of their experiences. This course will have additional expenses.
