This international sustainable development course enhances the first-hand learning that naturally occurs during a student’s GIVE Excursion. UNIV 304 provides opportunities for global experiential learning for students in a wide variety of majors and disciplines. Students will apply critical thinking skills, field observations, and reflective processing to explore and reveal the contextual impacts and opportunities associated with international sustainable development projects. UNIV 304 teaches students about the four domains of sustainability (economic, environmental, social, and cultural) and challenges them to reflect on their ability to change the world through a combination of experiential learning, dialogue circles, self-reflection, and traditional education. This course optimizes cultural immersion, expands student’s perspectives on sustainable development and enriches personal growth. The course is challenging intellectually, physically, and emotionally.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Ø Within the past academic year (2016-2017) our center ( Center for Leadership & Community Engagement) tracked 5,034 hours of civic engagement service hours performed by 1,000 student volunteers. Ø We work closely with staff, faculty, and community members to offer incentives to student employees who participate in civic engagement and community service. Ø Also, the CLCE highlights community engagement and service efforts on our Leadership Transcript, which is a record of all their leadership positions held, membership in clubs and organizations, community service performed, honors or awards received, and professional development such as conferences, workshops, and trainings that students have attended. Much of our efforts are in support of the University’s initiatives revolving around sustainability, service-learning, and civic engagement. I hope this is information is useful.
