Information Session: Last Drop-In Praxis Independent Study Information Session

November 3, 2016

Thursday, Nov. 10, 4:00PM-5:30PM, Civic Engagement Office (Dolwen, Cambrian Row)

Are you part of the Classes of 2017, 2018 or 2019? Want to create a course uniquely tailored to your own academic, career, and civic interests? Review the Praxis Independent Study Tutorial, and then attend the drop-in PIS information session!

Praxis Independent Study Courses combine an 8-10 hour per week fieldwork/internship experience with academic study. These are self-designed, experiential learning courses that are advised by faculty, who meet with students throughout the semester. Most students do their fieldwork off campus but there are many instances of on-campus fieldwork.

To get started:

  1. Read through the Praxis Independent Study overview page.
  2. Review the Praxis Independent Study Tutorial.
  3. Submit a Praxis Proposal.
  4. Meet with Nell Anderson (nanderso@brynmawr.edu) or Kelly Strunk (kstrunk@brynmawr.edu) for guidance in reaching out to potential faculty advisors and fieldwork sites.
  5. Complete the Learning Plan (this serves as the syllabus for the course) by December 21.

For more information, come to the last Drop-In Praxis Information Session, on Thursday, Nov. 10 from 4-5:30PM at the Civic Engagement Office (Dolwen, Cambrian Row). (Please review the Tutorial before coming).

If you wait until Spring Pre-registration to plan your Praxis course, it could be too late! Don't miss out on this great opportunity!
