Social Responsibility Personal & Well-Being

Social Responsibility and Personal Well-Being (PY 350) is an experientially-based course that looks at the effect of service and other forms of helping behavior on one's sense of well-being. The course looks at effective ways of providing service and emphasizes the personal impact of helping by providing opportunities for class members to participate in service projects. This involves a week-long, Spring Break trip to a developing country. By looking at both established service programs as well as the process of initiating a service project, participants will learn about many approaches to providing service and meeting community needs.

The course is taught by Dr. Steve Kramer (kramersr@muc.edu) and has in recent years involved traveling to a Central American country such as El Salvador.
