A classroom approach that relies on community interaction is tested when the interaction is by Zoom, Teams, and Google Hangout.
Yet something important happened in our fall classes. At a time when students were feeling disconnected, student philanthropy brought extra value to the virtual classroom. One professor noted that his students' reflection essays talked about being lonely. The student philanthropy component of his class made them feel less so. Students felt connected. To each other. To the nonprofits they considered. To their community. To common purpose.
Our classes this semester are awarding just over $25,000 in direct grants, generally of $1,000 to $2,000 per class. That pushes us very close to the $1 million mark and to 400 nonprofits supported since our program's inception in the Fall 2000 semester.
We invite you to spend some time on this celebration page. We're betting you, too, will feel a connection.
