CIVT 395 Vocation

The place of responsibility, to use Bonhoeffer's phrase, is in vocation, the place where citizenship must extend from thought and reflection to action. This course ensures that students acquire a practical understanding of the responsibilities of citizenship by working for a semester in a field of their choosing. Civitas students will conclude the work of their experience with two reports: One detailing the work of the experience itself, and a second dealing with how that work addresses central concepts of the honors program. This is a discipline specific course, and is guided by a project advisor under the approval of the Civitas director. Students will present results of their experience at the Augustana Symposium or some other professionally relevant venue. This course could include an internship, service learning project, research project, international or other off-campus study program.
