Course Description:  

This interdisciplinary course explores the processes and opportunities in intercultural learning for students returning from field-based experiential projects.  This course allows students to reflect on their global experiences and engage in a deeper understanding of culture, identity and consciousness.  Students will process lessons learned and analyze their personal development from before, during and after their programs.  Developing and articulating skills learned abroad will allow students to utilize individual transformation for their personal and academic interests.
