Science in Service of Society

Catalog description

This seminar course explores the interrelationship of science, social engagement, and service leadership action projects. Integrating science content and career development with undergraduate research opportunities and student-faculty partnerships, this course provides the reflective and civically-focused framework that enable sustainable connections between Duquesne University and the Greater Pittsburgh community. Students may initiate their own approved projects to match individual interest and skills; professors may include service action project learning experiences within the context of existing courses; or the Service Learning Facilitator will provide several community-based projects in the same semester as the seminar. Fulfills the university service learning requirement. Pass/Fail.
