CIV 210 Second Year Seminar
The course will focus on a problem or question related to creating a more just society. The problem or question can apply at the national or international levels, but it could also have some connection to work we can do in our local communities. Some form of community engagement is an expectation. The course will serve as a common sophomore experience and will reinforce the student learning outcomes and written and oral skills introduced in Civitas 110.
