How this course works
Each section of this service-learning course is dedicated to a nonprofit organization that has proposed one or more projects of importance to their organization. Look through the Partners and Projects options (at left). Choose a section based upon your interests and/or skills, and register for one section of ENG 298.
On the first day of class you will meet a representative from your partner organization and begin the semester project. Throughout the semester we will explore topics that will assist you with the management and execution of your project. The semester concludes with a team presentation during the final exam period to community partners highlighting the accomplishments of the project, value added to the community organization, and lessons learned.
As a result of this course you can expect to improve your project skills and to contribute to an important problem that benefits a nonprofit partner.
The real objective of university education is preparation for efficient social service.
