I have personally gone through the Institute and found it incredibly helpful in developing a social action course, that I then taught at the University of Michigan the following semester. Teaching social action has been one of the highlights of my career, as it provides students with concrete tools with which to organize social action campaigns and actions for undertaking social action for change. I highly recommend it! Please share this opportunity with faculty and staff colleagues at your institution and beyond. It really is a fantastic, generative opportunity.

It is designed to give instructors the tools and knowledge to implement social action in their own courses (current or new). Social action is a transformative experiential learning model where students in a course launch their own campaign or join a community organization's campaign, and create a "student-wing". The students' social action campaigns seek to change a rule, regulation, norm, policy, or practice of an institution, on campus or in the community. This social action model requires teachers to devote about one-half of the time to the social action campaigns (e.g., to explore issue development, building power, tactics, and campaign implementation). Generally, the course reading is also reduced so that the 1.5 hours per week that students devote to their campaign work is not burdensome. Over the past year, faculty and staff have created over 25 courses<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fumsusdev.us21.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D8b934608a2e7517ab5c3bfbd9%26id%3D730350902c%26e%3D77c01c3051&data=05%7C02%7CEse-faculty-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C977e54391e2c4f2a155508dc873587e4%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638533911185081516%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=AIaMtAt8NTn7UuJjxOZP52Fu9eJn0RUf052vMQbSn4g%3D&reserved=0> using social action.
