Moely 5 Hoffman Elementary School Graduate students in this course actively participate in a reading program at Hoffman Elementary School. They serve as learning partners to two Hoffman students and are required to do a minimum of four hours a week of service.
Students develop their own strategies in aiding the younger students with their reading problems.
In the second part of an innovative course designed by several faculty members and community members, Tulane students continue their work empowering girls from Woodson Middle School. Having established a relationship with the Woodson girls in their first semester, Tulane students will aid the Woodson girls in developing activities that promote leadership qualities in girls. This course was specially tailored by Dr. Wright to reflect student voice about their education at Tulane. Late during the fall semester, students participating in service learning courses and volunteer activities wanted a course that would shed light and provide information on the city and its inhabitants. With this in mind, Dr. Wright made it mandatory for the students taking this course to have taken part in either a previous service learning course or in a service activity.
