Course Description
This course is designed for students interested in serving rural communities and partnering with local community leaders to collaboratively address problems that are unique to rural contexts. Inspired by the Carolina Regional Albright Team Experience (CREATE), students will develop skills and competencies in teamwork, communication, and partnership development with industry and educational leaders in rural contexts. The course includes five modules where students will: engage in critical discussions; interview industry and educational leaders in rural contexts; and develop a partnership proposal that leverages course content and research to demonstrate how the partnership will benefit the organization and local community. The blend of applied activities, discussions, and reflections will support students' growth as educational, entrepreneurial, and equity-minded leaders. Although the course uses a primarily asynchronous format, synchronous sessions to connect with the instructor and peers are included. Instructor approval required.
