EXPERIENCE: GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT

Catalog description

Open only to juniors and seniors.International/multicultural course (I).This international service-learning course includes a two-week trip to Belize, Central America to work on an international development project. Course sessions focus on international and regional social, political, economic, and ecological issues related to poverty, hunger, ecological sustainability, and conservation in Belize and the impoverished world more generally. With this preparation we will then undertake a two-week service trip to Belize. This once in a lifetime experience allows students to develop a more complete understanding of the global social, economic, and political dynamics of poverty, hunger, and ecological degradation while fostering a more complete appreciation for our own role and responsibilities as global citizens.
