Students in the class will read, think and talk about ideas and examples relating to the process of social change. They’ll also work in groups to choose a social problem or opportunity and launch a practical project to create change on campus or, through the campus, in the wider community. The plan for the project will be the major piece of academic work produced for the class. Implementation will be up to you: If you’re inspired, hopefully you’ll decide to follow through even after you complete the course in December. Projects developed by students in this class in fall 2008 and fall 2009 have included creating a basketball league for homeless men in Baltimore (implemented summer 2009), blanketing the UMBC campus with black and gold banners to build school spirit (to be completed in the next few months), setting up new applied research opportunities for UMBC undergraduates (one of this year’s Prove It! finalists), launching a human rights awareness campaign focusing initially on hunger and access to clean water (you’ll see this unfold starting next month), developing new health and wellness resources for UMBC students, setting up a community action program for middle-school students, and establishing a healthy food co-op on campus.

Congratulations to Project HEALTH Baltimore for its recent Honorable Mention recognition by the Newman's Own Foundation. The NOF sponsored the Community Service Challenge, in collaboration with the America East Conference, to recognize student-led groups who are promoting and engaging in service. Project HEALTH Baltimore is a student-led service-learning site that supports the Family Help Desk at the St. Agnes Clinic. Students link individuals and families with community-based resources, enabling them to achieve the stability and opportunity for better access to healthcare. UMBC students that volunteer with Project HEALTH are supported by the Shriver Center's Service-Learning Program, which enables them to receive a notation on their transcript that recognizes their participation in this service-learning activity. The $7,500 grant awarded to the group recognizes their student-led service efforts in the local Baltimore community. Student leaders for the Project HEALTH group include Karen Silver, '10; Kezia Alexander, '10, and Mohsan Chaudhry, '10. Mark Marino, Executive Director of Project HEALTH Baltimore, supervises and supports the students' service through the organization.
