What is Human Issues Studies  and  How does it impact faculty life at Edgewood?

 

The Human Issues Studies Program (HISP) is a campus-wide academic program designed to link student educational experiences to real, personal and community-based issues.  HISP supports students through the process of designing and completing their Human Issues Studies experience, a graduation requirement for all Edgewood students.  Many tell us that their projects have not only significantly changed how they view the world but have also made a difference in the lives of others.  Promoting deep learning, reflective practice, and community engagement are among the primary goals of this program. The three components that are the hallmarks of a Human Issues Study are:

    Interdisciplinary Inquiry

    Values Clarification

    Engaged Learning

 

 

Advising Human Issues Studies
