Body of Knowledge: Project Advocates Impact on Classroom Hunger

Students apply the Body of Knowledge in a capstone assignment in a Foundations course in Human Sciences. In the Making an Impact assignment students are charged to research a social issue in their discipline, apply strengths they learned in self-assessment instruments, and advocate to improve the issue. An example is the project showcasing educator support of the Backpack Buddy program to impact childhood hunger in the classroom which connects Body of Knowledge concepts of basic needs, wellness, family strengths, community vitality, sustainability, and capacity building.
