IS 300 Global Community Engagement

IS 300 Global Community Engagement aims to help students understand the important concepts in community engagement beyond the local community and in the wider world.  This course examines the major organizations seeking to impact and develop communities globally, and considers the dynamics of that engagement on political, economic, and humanitarian levels.  Critical questions about our own role in global development and responsible engagement in cultures different from our own are explored.  This is a service-learning course that engages with international residents of our own community, and when possible includes a field trip to the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
