Alternative Capstone - Academic Community Impact

[ARhead]

"Dear BJ,

Are you interested in networking with professionals, tackling real-world problems, making an impact in your community and completing your BA degree requirements with a hands-on Capstone course?

Then consider enrolling in the two-course sequence: SOS-204: Academic Community Impact – Theory, Methods, and Practice; and the LIB-495: Liberal Arts Capstone – Community Engagement course, and begin fulfilling those goals. The SOS-204 course satisfies a civic engagement, human cultures or general education elective requirement in your academic program and will set you up to enroll in the LIB-495 Community Engagement course in which you will execute your BA degree Capstone project remotely with a community partner.

For a limited time, students who enroll in SOS-204 may also qualify for a LIB-495: Community Engagement course tuition waiver.

Developed in conjunction with TESU's recently launched Academic Community Impact Program (ACI), the course sequence focuses on connecting you with community-based nonprofits through solution based hands-on projects. By completing the sequence, you will help fulfill a strategic and critical need for a local organization while you build your resume and expand your professional network. Regardless of how you apply your course work, the SOS-204 and LIB-495 course sequence will provide a valuable bridge to community-based learning and collaboration while you fulfill your degree requirements.

Learn more about the ACI Program and email Dr. Daniel Fidalgo Tomé, Community Engagement Program Manager, to get started. If you need guidance in planning your courses for the upcoming term, an advisor can help. Make an advising appointment, email academicadvising@tesu.edu or call 609-777-5680"
