space available in Honors 232D: Are Do-Gooders Doing Good?: Critical Perspectives on Civic Engagement and Leadership

The Honors Program will be offering a course this Spring Quarter entitled “Are Do-Gooders Doing Good?: Critical Perspectives on Civic Engagement and Leadership” (Honors 232D; I&S credits). We have some spaces available in this class for all UW students (not just Honors Program students) so we wanted to spread the word. Will you please forward this announcement to your students? Thank you for your help, Fran Lo ********************* Do you want to make this world a better place? How do you know if you are truly making a difference? What does it mean to be civically engaged? What does it mean to engage in socially responsible leadership? To address these questions, this service-learning course offers a hands-on opportunity to explore the concept of civic engagement and the role of leadership in working towards the common good. Students will critically reflect on their own service experiences through the lens of several contemporary leadership theories, engage with principles of community work, and learn from the experiences of community leaders. The course will draw heavily on students’ involvement in service and will weave these together with elements of other academic coursework and future academic and career goals. Students will be required to engage in 20-40 hours of service in the community throughout the Spring Quarter. Students are encouraged to utilize current service commitments towards this requirement, though individualized support will be offered to those looking for a service opportunity.
