Announcing 2012-2013 Advanced Field Study

We are excited to announce the inaugural Advanced Field Study (AFS) course for 2012-2013.  This course, led by Assistant Professor Doug Houston, will provide a small number of students an in-depth, three-quarter field study experience focused on civic and community engagement.   Students will work together with a local community, government, or business organization on a research project that addresses social problems and helps build and sustain community cohesion and well-being. Students will draw upon academic training, local insights of people living and working in the community, personal reflections, and in-class discussions to guide these problem-solving efforts and other civic education experiences.  STUDENT APPLICATION DEADLINE - EXTENDED to MAY 18, 2012.  Click here for more information and the application.
