This class
This class is a little unusual. We will be asking you to reflect on your histories and on your true interests and passions on making a difference in the world and the lives of others.
Building on this, we will be asking you to reflect on the difference you would like to be making in the next year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 & 10. And then PRESSING you to think about the actions you can take to MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE.
To put yourself in that position you need to think about how you can put yourself in a position of being "entrepreneurial" – that is, thinking about the needs in the world, the difference you want to make, the opportunities and resources you can find and access to impact that need and pursue your vision, and how you can sophisticatedly access and use your skill set and the resources and relationships you can access in the world to make the difference you wish to make.
MIND you, we assume that your aspirations are to improve the "human condition" for all, and pursue personal actions that can have some indirect if not direct impact on issues of social justice in our world.

It will involve ...
TRUST. You will need to trust that we are leading you down a path of inquiry, action, and reflection that will be beneficial to you. That's all we ask of you ... is the trust that the questions we ask of you, the assignments we pose, and the resources we offer can help you to think of yourself as a change agent. And that the series of events – assignments and resources – will engage you in a way that will leave you with a better understanding of what you are wanting to do to make the world a better place ... and the skills, knowledge, and dispositions necessary to do that.
