Class suggestions are ones that I am aware of and highly recommend and/or have taken and truly enjoyed. They offer opportunities for  hands on experience and a service learning component. Please check with your academic advisor prior to registering to make sure that the credit hours will count for you and in some cases that the class will count as a required core or elective for your program. 

If you are an instructor offering a class with hands on experience and service learning exposure for students, please send an email (sheila.doles@gmail.com) to include your class in our listings. 

If you ask enough people the same question, you will eventually get the right answer.
