About the program
The program is one-credit hour with a typical internship enrichment commitment of three semesters. In this new program, students will work together with other students who pick the same focus and will participate in shared education experiences with the other groups throughout the semester. There are three areas of focus within the program: racial and ethnic justice, LGBTQ + health, and global and rural health. Shared educational experiences will decided by each group and can include books, podcasts, films, etc. Students who successfully complete a community advocacy project will be recognized at Pinning.
