In the classroom

Abstract

Beginning in Spring 2016, the USU Honors Program will pilot its first Honors Think Tank in collaboration with the Center for Civic Engagement and Service-Learning. The Think Tank is a unique General Education Citizen Scholar experience that focuses the Honors classroom on Cache Valley issues: this year’s topic is local food and water sustainability in a global context. Complementing the Honors Program’s introductory First Year Seminars, which fulfill General Education Breadth requirements, the Think Tank is designed for sophomores and juniors and fulfills USU’s General Education Depth requirements. The Think Tank groups three parallel sections that examine the same topic through different disciplinary lenses.
