Course Description
Designed to support the growth of Undergraduate students who are interested in working in the community, developing leadership skills, and connecting with other student leaders, this course is open to all students and a requirment for students receiving Carlson Center Civic Fellowship awards.
The course will offer you the opportunity to explore these three questions:
Who am I? Who am I as a leader? and What is my role in community?
To answer these questions, we’ll engage in skill development workshops, research on social issues, guest speaker presentations, reflection on theoretical models, and dialog among participants. The course will draw heavily on your community experiences and will weave these together with elements of other academic coursework and your future academic/career goals.
