Sharpe Seminars
Sharpe Community Scholars Program Courses for AY 2011-2012
Each year the Sharpe Community Scholars Program is proud to engage the participation of faculty from across the disciplines to guide students through an integrative, engaged learning experience. Sharpe faculty represent a diverse group of educators at the College, with skills and talents beyond their discipline-based knowledge. They equip our students with training to develop research and community partnering ethics, intercultural communication and effective action strategies, and real-world considerations of both practical and philosophical dimensions of social justice and community engagement.
