Re: Request for syllabi from Geography

Dear Laurel,

Service learning is integral to the work of faculty in the department of
Geography at the University of Washington.  I encourage you to visit the
website below for a discussion of the concept of citizenship in the
discipline, then click on 'undergraduate program' to learn more about
service learning in the department's curriculum.
