can be linked to these first year programs, across many departments.
According to this research, the First Year Seminars below include a community engagement component.
That component may vary from (1) a link to the geographic place and learning in that place,
but without any service provided to community partners; (2) service to or engagement with community residents
and/or partners as a course component; (3) both a link to place/issues and a component of
research, service, or engagement with the community.
