BENN 203 - Introduction to Civic Leadership

Poverty, illiteracy, hunger, exploitation, and environment degradation continue to plague our communities. What is at the heart of these issues? What is our best path to solutions? What can we do to cause change... together or individually? In this course, students will explore the complex challenges that affect our communities today and the general principles of leadership, collaboration, and collective impact in a democratic society. We will introduce tools and strategies, utilize community engaged learning to help with community development, and create positive social change.
