A brief description of the themed housing, including name(s) and descriptions of theme(s):
The Global Engagement Learning Community
First year students apply to this program and if accepted, live together in Creswell Hall. A component of the class' Fall 2013 seminar will be Food Security issues and they will be composting in their individual rooms and working together on a larger composting project.
The group meets weekly to explore cultural issues, the meaning of global citizenship, and the fundamentals of service learning. The seminar focuses on these issues by encouraging participation in local events, exhibits and lectures on campus, along with volunteer experiences. The process of discovery is framed by an understanding of urban spaces and how people use them. Concentration is placed on local and global heritage preservation and resource conservation programs and initiatives.
