Course Spotlight

In order to help service-learning scholars make connections and learn about new projects, we will seek to highlight a new service-learning course in every newsletter. Courses will be shared both here and in the "Spotlight" section on the front page of our website. If you are interested in having your course highlighted, please let Harmony know at hcox at esue.ohio-state.edu<mailto:hcox at esue.ohio-state.edu>.
Inside Out featured in the Newark Advocate Inside Out (SOCIOL 2211) was the subject of an article for the Newark Advocate. Inside-Out courses at Ohio State Newark bring college students and incarcerated individuals together in a classroom setting to develop a partnership between institutions of higher learning and prison systems nationally. The article focuses on the course's closing ceremony and features quotes from students as well as the experiences of inmates, and discusses the transformative effects of the course for all who participate. You can view the article here: http://www.newarkadvocate.com/article/20121202/NEWS01/312020006/InsideOut-course-exposes-inmates-higher-education<http://www.newarkadvocate.com/article/20121202/NEWS01/312020006/InsideOut-course-exposes-inmates-higher-education?nclick_check=1%20> For more information on the course, contact Angela Bryant at bryant.74 at osu.edu.
