Abstract
The 3-week January term incorporates high-impact educational practices to provide students with an integrated learning environment centered on citizenship. Students take courses that focus on a civic issue, or problem, while engaging in experiential learning opportunities and community service work with local, community-based partners. Thematic areas for courses include homelessness, environmental sustainability and urban renewal. The university works with local partner organizations to enhance students understanding of civic engagement. A pre-and-post-test assessment was designed and implemented, based on a prepared survey instrument, and on common essay assignments with common measurements to assess both the knowledge and attitudinal components of citizenship.
