There, students will plan and conduct community service independently and then gather for a weekly, seminar-style class. In both settings, students will explore aspects of personal development related to the “cor” questions, including, What are my personal values, beliefs, and biases? In what ways are these personal factors similar to and different from those held by people around me? How are social and ethics issues addressed at my host agency? How does Dominican Intellectual Tradition and Catholic Social Teaching inform my understanding of these social and ethical issues? In seminar, students will further examine the opportunities and contradictions within themselves and in larger society that arise through answering these “cor” questions. Through this examination, students will deepen their understanding of social structures and the ethical implications inherent in themselves and society, as understood through the lens of Dominican Intellectual Tradition and Catholic Social Teachings. Using the foundational principle of the common good, students will examine how contemporary social structures both support and undermine this principle. This examination will include systems of social inclusion and exclusion, with particular focus on structural racism and structural poverty.

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
This COR2 course has been designed as an opportunity to explore the connections between our life work as helping professionals, development as leaders in these careers, and building resilience through self-care and mindfulness.
Using the lens of the COR 2 essential questions (Who am I and who could I become? What are the needs and opportunities of the world? What is my role in building a just and compassionate world?), the class will pose questions such as, what are the relationships between self and community, and between personal activities and public service? What responsibilities exist in these relationships? How do social forces (e.g., poverty, racism, sexism and climate crisis) shape these roles and inform one’s responsibilities?
Through reading, discussion, and service activities students will reflect upon community experiences, how these experiences influence their personal and public worlds, and their personal values in relation to these spheres, while identifying and examining their own value systems as they are situated in the values systems of other contexts, including those of their service sites, the Dominican Intellectual Tradition, and Catholic Social Teaching.
Class members must have a concurrent field placement within their majors, have an established community service position or be an American Veteran. Course content will be based in part of the experiences of students in these placements.
