Description:

Competency Area: Integrated Projects
Required of and restricted to Ph.D. III students.

The Service Project is an opportunity to cooperate with a specific institutional, organizational, or community group addressing concerns of relevance to the student's academic work. This provides a public context for one's scholarly interests, both providing expertise to a project, and allowing the student to learn from the experience of the community, building broad coalitions for environmental work, and using the doctoral learning process as a service for diverse constituencies.

Note: The Service Project does not meet as a course. The project is discussed in the Doctoral Theory and Practice Seminar. The student receives credit upon satisfactory completion of the Service Project essay.
