SUNY College at Old Westbury

Subject:

Community Engagement

Description:

CE 2000 is the community engagement field placement that accompanies all General Education courses with a CE designation. Students in all CE General Education courses must enroll in the linked CE2000 section. Together these courses comprise Old Westbury¿s Community Engagement Program. Students in CE 2000 are assigned to college or community field placements for 4 hours a week, approximately 50 hours a semester. Placements are related to the course content of the General Education class to which the particu- lar CE2000 section is linked. The Community Engagement Program challenges students to con- front the big questions facing the world today by participa- ting in and reflecting upon civic engagement activities. By engaging students, both personally and intellectually, at the very beginning of their academic journey in structured community-based learning activities and reflective projects, this course introduces students to Old Westbury's social justice mission and encourages their college and community involvement. The goal of this class is to encourage active learning, to promote intercultural understanding, and to build academic, interpersonal, organizational and leadership skills. The Community Engagement program is mandated for all first- year students, and is the second semester of the year long First-Year Seminar requirement. It follows FY1000 The Just World, which is the prerequisite. A few sophomores and Ethics of Engagement: Educating Leaders for a Just World, which is the prerequisite. A few sophomores and juniors will be allowed to register for the program.
