CIV 111 - Civic Engagement & Diversity Project

2 credit(s)
Civic engagement projects combine academic learning with action (such as service, advocacy, awareness-raising, community-based research, campaigning, or activism) to address a significant social or environmental issue in the community (e.g. immigration, education, environmental justice, etc.). CIV 111 students design their own projects, which entail approximately 40 hours of action, in a context that also provides in-depth experiences with diversity, and complete associated academic work sponsored by a faculty member. For projects spanning more than one semester, students must take CIV 109 as the first semester of a two-semester sequence in conjunction with CIV 111. Project proposal forms are available from the Center for Civic Engagement and must be submitted to the Registrar with approval signatures.
