Civic Scholars Program Semester Three: Application and Integration of Civic Projects and Values

This is the third semester course for students in the Civic Scholars Program of the Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement. This one-credit seminar style course provides students with the opportunity to evaluate their civic projects and explore implications of their work. Through group discussions, readings, lectures, and guest speakers, students 1) connect their civic engagement project to local, national, and international contexts; 2) understand interdependence of social issues, public policy, and culture; and 3) explore sustainability and social change. The class meets weekly for one hour during the fall semester. Students are expected to take an active role in their learning through sharing their experiences, engaging with reading material, and participating in reflection exercises. Students are required to continue their coursework through the spring of their senior year, in the Civic Scholars Program, Semester Four: Civic Engagement across a Lifespan. Prerequisite: L98 3202 and L98 3203 Admittance into the Gephardt Institute's Civic Scholars Program. All Students waitlisted. Civic Scholars courses do not count towards the AMCS Major and Minor.
