LAS 1115 - Making a Difference

This course focuses on understanding who we are as humans, our shared humanity, in the context of those who have “made a difference.” We will explore the notion that people can and want to make a difference in the lives of others and how people though their efforts both large and small have made positive changes. Through a variety of texts students will explore how we as individuals and as a society can make a difference locally, nationally, and internationally. Students will develop a project devoted to making an improvement in the lives of others as part of this class. (4 credits)
