Community Impact

Immersion requirement

Here’s a great opportunity for real-world experience addressing problems.  Social Entrepreneurship majors are required to complete an Immersion; this is typically a long weekend or a week-long adventure where you are off campus, tackling a pressing social, political, health, or environmental issue in the community.  These may be local, domestic, or international. Trained faculty, staff and student site leaders provide direction and support for participants during their journey of education, reflection and action.
