But some academic courses—community-engaged learning courses—also have a service component to them. In the past, students enrolled in CEL courses 九色视频 have:
- Conducted the homeless count required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Middlesex Supportive Housing Coalition;
- Examined the effect of local preschools on preparing kindergarteners to be school-ready, for the Middletown School Readiness Council;
- Studied the North End landfill to determine whether the methane it produced could be harvested economically;
- Taught 20th century music compositional techniques to Middletown High School students;
- Aided medical research at the Community Health Clinic.
If you think Wesleyan students might be of help in a project your organization or agency is doing, planning, or just imagining, the first step is an informal discussion with the Director of Community-Engaged Learning.
