Introduction to Leadership and Global Understanding

Catalog description

This experiential course examines the various communities students are members of--the campus community, the city of Philadelphia, the greater Philadelphia area, the nation and the global community. In particular, students will explore the Philadelphia community, its history and the various groups which constitute it. The Introduction to Leadership and Global Understanding will introduce the students to the rich diversity of cultural groups in the Philadelphia area. Using Philadelphia as a model, students will learn to see the "community" as multi-layered and will begin to ask important questions about the rights and obligations of citizenship within such a community.
