I was hooked. I had to come back e ach semester to learn and grow a little more. The on-campus weekly seminar is the place where your community and campus learning merge. Graduate and undergraduate project coordinators work with the professional staff to coordinate service and facilitate discussion of relevant academic issues. There is an expectation that you are both teacher and learner, responsible for both your own learning and that of others.
Term papers are an opportunity to integrate learning from theory and experience.
Graduate Student Instructors from the academic departments develop the assignment, as well as review and grade the papers. It combines service in the community and an academic learning component consisting of weekly seminars, readings, journal writing, and an integrative paper. The weekly service in the community provides a context that gives meaning to the readings and seminar discussions. The result is a rich educational experience. The experience of truth in community is too powerful to ignore.
