PSY 291 - Urban Encounter for the Helping Profession

Institution:

Indiana Wesleyan University

Subject:

Description:

All psychology majors are expected to participate in a field trip to Chicago, Illinois. The purpose of the trip is to provide students an urban, cross-cultural experience as well as exposure to the diversity and universality of human experience and behavior. Students will be encouraged to live out the love of Jesus in connecting with the people of the Olive Branch Mission or a similar community. Students will interview ministerial staff and seek out opportunities to dialogue with those served by the mission. These interactions will provide the basis for a four- to five-page reaction paper upon returning to IWU. Students will reflect on the impact of this experience in terms of their personal development, faith, and sense of life calling. Limited to Psychology Majors unless special permission from Division Chair.
