Each student will participate in an experiential activity that will give
insight into another culture. (It can be Russian, Turkish,
Hispanic……). The purpose of the immersion is to heighten your
awareness of a diverse group, so you should pick the type of experience
that will give you the most potential for personal development.
Obviously, papers will vary based on students’ experiences. You could
attend a religious service different from your own, volunteer to assist
at an event that has a culture predominately different from your own,
spend a night with a family of a different culture, visit another
country, etc. The expectation is to interact in this environment, not
simply observe. Also, make note of your feelings during this experience.
