Each year 1st year students in the intro course head off for a hands on experience exploring and learning in a local community. This year in late February we will be out on a two day adventure, exploring a local community and interviewing key stakeholders before heading out to Camp Mockingee to reflect and build our own community in the outdoors. We get to know each other better and build strong relationships while considering and applying concepts of community developkment in a new comunity. Stay tuned for details.

Last winter, the 1st year students were hosted by the Town of Windsor for a full day experience exploring the concept of social entrepreneurship in a small town context. We surveyed community assets and needs acorss a range of settings and reported back our perspectives.
