A writing-intensive capstone course for the Compass Curriculum that guides students in the application of interdisciplinary knowledge to complex problem solving and decision making to have a positive impact on a community. Students are challenged to practice critical and creative thinking skills, and they are expected to demonstrate competence in communication, collaboration, and engaged citizenship or leadership. This course is open to all majors. History can inspire students to appreciate the connection to the present, by allowing them to explore the past and experience the discovery of history outside of the classroom. This course will include archival and on-site research and exploration of themes of local importance that engage students in connecting present and past with application projects, including sharing of findings with the community.
