CSIE Executive Director, Dr. Fiona Wilson recently spoke at the 2019 Ashoka U Exchange in San Diego, CA on the topic of “Making Changemaker Education Count: New Models for Immersive Education” along with Eric Schwarz, Founder and CEO, College for Social Innovation and Dennis Hanno, President of Wheaton College.
Based on the belief that high-quality experiential learning can be transformative, the speakers shared how universities, like UNH, are challenging existing structures in higher education and preconceived notions that internships should happen outside of the core educational curriculum and engagements at the institution. During the session, panelists shared the exciting and robust outcome data from the first two years of the Semester in the City program pilot. CSIE is proud to partner with the College for Social Innovation to bring this program to UNH students, and any student attending a 4-year college or university, as the University of Record for the program.
