An experience, under the auspices of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities which provides students an opportunity for examination of other geographic and cultural regions of the world, in that region. The CCCU international programs include the following: Australia Studies Centre; China Studies Program; Latin American Studies Program; Middle East Studies Program; Russian Studies Program; Uganda Studies Program. This experiential semester allows the diversity of cultures and nationalities to be seen without the filters which are in place seeing the diversity through the eyes of others-the news media, the instructors' biases, parental thinking-or through the students' own preconceptions. This internship experience provides a forum to listen to persons of religious faiths, ecomonic and educational levels, as well as political and economic thinking different than those confronted in one's comfort zone in the USA. Offering to be arranged.

An experience for the student with an agency typically in the Tri-Cities region which surrounds the College campus. Examples of the agencies with which the student might be placed include the Salvation Army, the Good Samaritan Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, the Appalachian Service Project, the Johnson City Downtown Clinic, or a local law enforcement agency or court system. However, this experience might be gained in other locales which the student might propose. The format is working with those in ministry, social work, casework, and/or mental health occupations which provide care to those who are in material and physical need-lacking proper housing, food, safety, medical care, educational opportunities, and support. The student spends ten hours weekly in the field. Offering to be arranged.

This course challenges the student and the faculty to face the problems of the world's downtrodden rather than, in the words of Pink Floyd, turning away. Offered spring term each year.
