Sophomore Scholars in Residence
Imagine taking a typical public policy class comparatively exmaining healthcare systems in the U.S. and the developing world: scholarly texts and articles, writing research papers and engaging classroom discussions. Now, add-in a community-based learning experience within a healthcare setting or non-profit organization in the city of Richmond to gain a local perspective on the issue.
Then, add two trips together to a rural community in the Appalachian Mountains and the capital of the Dominican Republic to experience first-hand what you have been reading and discussing in the classroom. And all the while you are living in the same residence hall throughout your sophomore year!
