Humanitarian Action Seminar

Catalog description

This seminar is a culminating experience that helps students to integrate their learning across courses they have taken in the Humanitarian Action minor and to explore its relationship to their other fields of study and career objectives.  Throughout the course, students will develop skills and explore ethical commitments to humanitarian work through experiential learning, readings, and critical reflection, helping them to synthesize the humanitarian knowledge and experiences they have accumulated in their undergraduate careers. Seminar sessions include guest lectures by program faculty, experts from local, national or international organizations, and Fairfield alums in the humanitarian action field to facilitate mentorship for career development.
