Description

This is a foundation course that introduces students to a variety of health topics within the framework of family health and community health. Emphasis is placed on savvy consumerism, information literacy, and service within a vast array of health-related community organizations. Successful completion of this course includes a service-learning project consisting of reciprocal service and learning through work at a non-profit organization affiliated with health, wellness, or sport subdisciplines. Additionally, students will conduct secondary research on a health topic that relates to their service-learning site, which will conclude with a formal presentation of information from both secondary research and service-learning.
