About
SERVED 146 UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS FROM A CONSORTIUM POOL OF 26 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN SEMESTER AND SHORT-TERM ACADEMIC PROGRAMS. PROVIDED 140 OF THESE STUDENTS WITH INTERNSHIPS FOCUSING ON SUBSTANTIVE SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND VOCATIONAL GROWTH IN THE FIELDS OF PUBLIC POLICY, ADVOCACY, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE. CONDUCTED 12 EXPERIENTIAL, INTERDISCIPLINARY, COMMUNITY-BASED OFF- CAMPUS PROGRAMS (10 DURING THE FALL AND SPRING SEMESTERS, 1 DURING THE JANUARY TERM, AND 1 DURING THE SUMMER TERM) IN SOUTH AMERICA, EUROPE, THE SOUTH PACIFIC, AND THE UNITED STATES. EACH WAS OPEN TO QUALIFIED STUDENTS FROM HECUA'S MEMBER INSTITUTIONS AS WELL AS NON- MEMBER INSTITUTIONS NATIONWIDE. HECUA'S SEMESTER-LONG INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS IN ECUADOR, NORWAY, NEW ZEALAND, AND NORTHERN IRELAND BRING STUDENTS INTO DIRECT DIALOGUE WITH CITIZENS AND LOCAL LEADERS THROUGH STUDY, FIELD VISITS, HOMESTAYS, STRUCTURED TRAVEL, CRITICAL REFLECTION, AND SIGNIFICANT INTERNSHIPS. INTERNSHIPS RANGE FROM 10 HOURS A WEEK IN NORWAY TO NEARLY 25 HOURS A WEEK IN ECUADOR. SEMESTER-LONG PROGRAMS IN THE TWIN CITIES USE THE METROPOLITAN LANDSCAPE AS A BACKDROP FOR EXPLORING PRESSING ISSUES IN STUDENTS' HOME COMMUNITIES: ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, ECONOMIC DISPARITIES, PUBLIC AND PROTEST ART, AND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO TOOLS OF MEDIA PRODUCTION. THE INTEGRATION OF RESPECTED "COMMUNITY FACULTY" MEMBERS IN TWIN CITIES' PROGRAMS OFFERS STUDENTS AN ON-THE-GROUND PERSPECTIVE OF THE WORK BEING DONE IN THEIR FIELD OF STUDY. EACH PROGRAM IS CAREFULLY CRAFTED TO INCORPORATE CURRENT EVENTS, RELEVANT THEORY, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRACTICAL SKILL ACQUISITION. HECUA OFFERS STUDENTS UNABLE TO SPEND A FULL SEMESTER OFF CAMPUS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN HIGH-IMPACT EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THROUGH TWO SHORT-TERM PROGRAMS. THE JANUARY-TERM INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM SOCIAL AND POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION IN ECUADOR, INTRODUCES STUDENTS TO THE EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION ON DEVELOPING ECONOMIES, AND THE SUMMER TERM DOMESTIC PROGRAM RACE IN AMERICA TAKES STUDENTS ON A BUS TOUR OF SOUTHERN STATES THAT FIGURED PROMINENTLY IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
