The Department of Counseling, Social Work and Leadership is committed to the promotion of cultural understanding and social justice. As a part of our commitment to these values, we take pride in the international partnerships that we provide to facilitate student learning.

In May of 2012, students and professors traveled together to South Africa as part of SWK 494 and EDU 594: Comparative Studies of South Africa. The students and faculty went to South Africa to visit schools and orphanages. They helped out in whatever capacity was required of them and helped to feed many of the children in the area. Dr. Elliott remarked, “We went to the university and did all of these things in the attempt to see the world from their perspective. We left changed because we came to be more of ourselves.”

Vrindavan India

Poverty, social exclusion, unemployment, and unequal gender relations have a profound influence on health and illness. This course will explore this topic within the context of an international study program to Ma Dham in Vrindavan, India, City of Widows, founded by Dr. V. Mohini Giri. Dr. Giri was a Nobel Peace Prize nominee for her work. In India, the consequences of losing one’s spouse are dramatically different for men and women. Dr. Giri ‘s Guild for Service offers job training, safe haven and a sense of dignity for some of India’s widows. Students and faculty will be guests of Dr. Giri in the City of Widows and live among the widows there and participate in their daily lives. Students will also have the opportunity to visit the remarkable sites in the area such as the Taj Mahal and Fatehpur Sikri Mosque. The students depart on December 27, 2012 and will return January 10, 2013.
