Living/Learning Center Interdisciplinary Minor in Service Learning for Community-Based Action Research Minor Coordinator: Gregory Ruf, Social Sciences Interdisciplinary Office: S-537 Social and Behavioral Sciences Phone: 632-9013 E-mail: gruf@notes.cc.sunysb.edu The interdisciplinary minor in service learning for community-based action research (LCR) is open to all undergraduates, with preference given to residents of Douglass College who wish to add an academic dimension to their residential experience. The program, housed in Douglass College, is designed to use the special educational opportunities available at Stony Brook to create citizens with the depth of commitment to community service that the 21st century will demand. Acquisition of skills and knowledge is combined with a fostering of an appreciation by students of their role as citizens both in the University and in the surrounding communities. The learning arena is extended into the community by addressing local social issues. After completion of academic course work, student interns are partnered and assigned to work in specific communities to address community concerns.
