Becoming a Problem Solver

Catalog description

A hands-on course for students participating in Semester in the City (Boston) or Semester for Impact (NH) that builds the skills of students as changemakers for social good. Students participate in skill-building and reflective workshops designed around our core skills of launching a purpose driven career, working in diverse teams, persuasive communication and human centered problem solving. Students practice new concepts and skills every week and engage in team-based community research projects, craft a three-minute speech they deliver at program completion, and develop their professional on-line profile and portfolio of work.
