“”Citizenship and Social Change: Theory and Practice,”" required course and other service requirements

Tusculum College - TN, Tennessee

Tusculum College has a campus-wide service day that is integrated into the required first-semester freshman seminar, “”Our Lives In Community”", as well as other courses taught at the beginning of each fall. This is followed by a sophomore-level course, “”Citizenship and Social Change: Theory and Practice,”" required of all students and involving a group service project of around 15 hours. This is then followed by students’ choice of one of 3 service-learning courses: an intensive immersion course, a semester-long service-learning course, or a “”Civic Arts Project”" that requires the student to design and implement a service project in collaboration with community members. All of this is linked to a curriculum focused on education as preparation for citizenship.

Our state director has brought enthusiasm and direction to Missouri Campus Compact and her leadership has given me renewed confidence that we are moving in the right direction. I am particularly excited about the new AmeriCorps*VISTA project and the opportunity to work closely with the other institutions to create a better Missouri."
