Birmingham Southern College's Distinction Programs: Academic Pathways for Engaged Learning.
Presented by Kristin Harper, Director of Service-Learning; Kent Andersen, Director of Leadership Studies; and Katy Smith, Assistant Director of Internships at Birmingham-Southern College
This workshop will discuss Birmingham-Southern College's four Distinction Programs: Black Studies, Leadership Studies, Poverty Studies, Public Health Studies. These programs complement and enhance any major and provide students with concentrated focus on a particular issue or applied area of study. Programs are by nature multi- or trans-disciplinary and include introductory courses, experiential components, and capstone requirements. Staff and faculty involved in these distinction programs will share basic outlines of each program, how they were developed and how they have impacted student learning.
