Redesigning Hope

Brown University - RI, Rhode Island
President: Ruth J. Simmons

In an elective course at a local high school students have a role in redesigning their school’s policies. Each year the course focuses on a particular issues. In one year the issue was truancy, so the teens drafted suggestions for improving absenteeism rates. 3 Brown students and one recent Brown graduate worked with the class and helped to plan and lead it.
