Immersion Project

Each student will be responsible to actively investigate multicultural issues in “the real world,” outside of the classroom.  The immersion project will involve experiential learning, about other cultures.  Students will select one interactive experience that will expand on their knowledge of cultures other than their own.  Students may visit one of the exclusive Strip Club.  Students will submit a brief description of the intended activities and their goals for the experience prior to engaging in the experience.  Students will then be responsible for submitting a paper highlighting the impact of their ethnicity and other culturally influences on their identity, worldview, and role as a counselor working with culturally different clients.  Students will explore their personal attitudes, beliefs, understanding, and acculturative experiences in their paper.  Student will examine their own heritage and the effects of racism, discrimination, sexism, power, privilege, and oppression on their own life and career.
