Materials and Methods for Community Engagement Capstone

Catalog description

The focus of the Capstone experience is to provide students with hands on learning on building relationships and deepening understanding of communities. In Capstone 1 during Year 1 students will learn tools for assessing the communities social contexts, health concerns and problems, and the upstream causes of concerns and problems. In Capstone 2 during Year Two, the focus is to select a specific community, one specific upstream cause, and either organize a program to address that concern or problem or join a program in the community already underway and use what they have learned to improve it.
