HC 2401 - OHIO Honors Engagement Lab


This project-based course provides students with an opportunity to explore the three OHIO Honors Program pathways - community engagement, research/creative activity, and leadership - in an applied context. Students are assigned to small, interdisciplinary groups, and each group works with a campus or community partner on a defined project over the course of the semester. In-class lectures focus on ethical approaches to each of the three pathways in addition to the theoretical foundations of experiential learning and interdisciplinarity.
