Social & Behavioral Science 391R - S- RISE Fellows

In this 1-credit seminar experience, you will develop valuable professional, leadership, advocacy, interpersonal, and organizational skills and apply them to your work as a RISE Fellow, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion across SBS and helping first-generation, low-income, and BIPOC students to navigate their undergraduate experience. This course is designed to foster your own personal, intellectual, and professional development as much as it is to prepare you to provide a valuable service for minoritized students, your departments, and the College in general. Every element of your work in this course (in class and staff meetings and through your Diversity Fellows internship) is designed to scaffold your development as a highly competent and ethical professional and engaged community leader able to approach individual, social justice, and organizational challenges in nuanced and socially responsible ways. No books are required for this class.
