Service Learning

EDGE (Educating for Global Engagement) is a College of Liberal Arts plan that emphasizes "experiential learning" through study abroad, professional experiences through internships, and undergraduate research with professors. 

The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars provides opportunities to work and learn in Washington, D.C. for academic credit.  Allison Yocum spent a semester working with Preservation Action, a Nonprofit organization that is researching the relief given to the historic houses in the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina--and saw Gen. Colin Powell deliver the Gettysburg Address at National Museum of American History exhibit opening.

Endangered Seed and 100 Mile Diet Projects:  Students from Museum Anthropology and Ozark Anthropology worked with the Arkansas Sustainability Network to develop an exhibition on eating locally for the Natural State Expo at the Statehouse Convention Center in October 2008.  They are continuing to work on local garden, seed saving, and public education projects.

Pre Columbian Collections Project:  Museum Anthropology students worked to catalogue UCA's Pre-Columbian collections as a class project in 2009.
