COR 314 2 - Community, Identity, Service

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

This course examines the ethical dimensions of community involvement and provides a platform from which students can assess their own efforts, and community efforts, to address the effects of inequality. We explore the knowledge and skills necessary to make a meaningful difference, and the impact of white cultural assumptions in shaping both community work and identity. Students will learn through experience as mentors to youth involved with Lussier Community Center at either the elementary or middle school program level. Students must complete 10 weeks of work at Lussier as well as attending events in the community, which will be scheduled during class time as much as possible.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of COR 1 or COR 199 or COR 199 in progress; two full-time semesters of college credit, excluding retro credits, AP credits, and college credit earned while in high school.
