Students consider how the traditional college "town & gown" relationship can be equitable and in service to the college and local partners. Students explore their own history with service, analyze current opportunities in the Boston area through BU, and actively liaise with a local non-profit organization. Through a combination of weekly discussions, guest speakers, and reflections, students analyze the power dynamics between a University and local community and non-profit services as it currently stands at Boston University. Effective Fall 2020, this course fulfills a single unit in the following BU Hub area: The Individual in Community.
