Human growth research about achieving gender equality and empower all women and girls
Awareness in Action: UN Sustainable Development Goals
Description: Students will select one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal and/or target goal. Students will research the goal, international agencies currently addressing the goal, and the implications of the goal in the field of human development (i.e. effects of violence, impact of immigration of individuals, effect of gender inequality). Students will present their projects at a campus-wide symposium to inform peers about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and their relevance in the field of human development.
Students will then either create an awareness campaign that brings general awareness to the global problem, or create a service project that can be carried out locally. Project descriptions must be discussed with professor throughout semester.
Service Learning Hours: Research, project preparation, and presentation at an end of semester symposium must total 10 hours of community service that will be documented through the MDC iCED process.
Students must discuss project with professor throughout semester in order to receive the 10 service learning hours.
Format: The project will take form as a scientific poster presentation. Presentation will contain a minimum of 1,000 words and must follow the general format of the American Psychological Association. All papers must be properly cited and must include a reference section. General information about creating a poster presentation can be found on the following websites:
